Trist House And West Terrace Walls Service Wing, Stable Block And Courtyard Wall

Trist House, along with the west terrace walls, service wing, stable block, and courtyard wall, is a rectory built in 1834 for Samuel, the son of Jeremiah Trist. The building features coursed slatestone and has a low pitched hipped roof made of Delabole slate, characterized by wide eaves and a hidden valley. There are two axial stuccoed brick chimneys as well as two more on the side walls. The layout is double depth with three main reception rooms arranged in an L-shape, and there are passages leading from the south and east fronts, with stairs positioned in the angle, leaving a narrow room in the southeast corner. The house is two storeys high and has a nearly symmetrical south front with three windows. The doorway features a Tuscan stuccoed doorcase with paired pilasters, slightly off-center to the right, and includes glazed double doors with an over light. The windows are 12-paned hornless sashes set in slightly arched openings. The west and north fronts each have three windows, with the third bay of each slightly projecting forward. The right ground floor window on the north front is glazed but blocked to maintain symmetry. Steps lead to the left ground floor bay window, while the service wing, located to the left, also has wide eaves.

Inside, the vestibule retains its original stone floor, and there is an open well and service stairs. The doors feature panelled reveals, and there are window shutters, moulded plaster ceiling cornices, marble fireplace surrounds, and some original hob grates. The west front garden is enclosed by granite coped terrace walls adorned with urns. The stable block includes original stands and features four stone barrel vaults in the basement.
