Description

Ladydown House, Four Seasons, and the house forming the northeast wing are former vicarages that have been divided into three houses. They were built around 1851, possibly with later extensions in the 19th century, for Reverend George Martin. The buildings are constructed of snecked granite ashlar with dressed quoins, granite lintels, and cills, topped with a slate roof that has a hipped end on the left and a gable end on the right. The right-hand and rear wing also feature slate roofs with hipped ends and deep overhanging eaves, along with granite ashlar axial and end stacks.

The original layout of the vicarage is unclear, but it seems that the front range, now known as Ladydown House, was likely of an overall 'L' shaped plan. The left room is heated by an end stack, with the entrance near the center and a right-hand room along with another room in a rear wing, probably heated by an axial stack. The right range, known as Four Seasons, is likely slightly newer, featuring two reception rooms facing the garden to the southeast and a rear porch leading into a wide stair hall. The rear left wing of Ladydown House is likely contemporary and consists of one room with a rear entrance.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window front for Ladydown House, which includes a glazed 20th-century porch at the center flanked by sash windows, with the left-hand sash featuring margin glazing bars. The first floor has 16-pane, 12-pane, and 20-pane sashes. The garden front on the right has a symmetrical two-window layout with original 19th-century sashes that also have margin glazing bars. There is a granite ashlar porch at the rear with a flat roof.

Inside, the Four Seasons features original fittings and a 19th-century staircase with stick balusters and a moulded and wreathed mahogany rail.
