Description
Kelly House is a mid-19th century house with 20th-century alterations, located in Lower Kelly, Calstock. The building is constructed from painted slatestone rubble and features a hipped slate roof with stacks on the sides that have rendered shafts. The rear of the house is rendered.
The house has a double depth plan and is built into a bank, with the entrance on the road side leading to a two-storey front. At the back, it faces the River Tamar and includes a basement that was likely originally used as a boatshed. The ground floor consists of a small room on the left and a larger room on the right, both heated by the side stacks, along with shallow service rooms at the rear.
The road-facing exterior has two storeys and features a nearly symmetrical three-window front. The ground floor includes three 19th-century 12-pane sash windows and a six-panelled door with an overlight, positioned second from the left. The first floor has two 12-pane sashes and a central narrow round-arched stair light. To the right, there is a 20th-century lean-to porch and a two-storey addition that aligns with the basement and ground floor levels. The left side of the house is blind.
At the rear, the basement has two 20th-century casement windows and central double doors with a segmental arch. The ground floor features a central later 19th-century square bay window with plate-glass sashes, flanked by 12-pane sashes on either side. The first floor has three 12-pane sashes, all with cambered brick arches. The interior has not been inspected.
