Nordon House

Nordon House is a rectory, dating to 1844, and now a house. It incorporates re-set datestones from 1744 and 1550 on the east wall, and has undergone later alterations. The building is constructed of slatestone rubble, with a rendered front, brick dressings to the rear, and a hipped slate roof with stacks at each end. The interior is of a double-depth plan, featuring three principal front rooms and an entrance on the right side that leads to a longitudinal passage and staircase at the rear right. A service wing is located to the rear left, with a stable attached to its left side.

The front elevation has a plinth and two storeys, with three bays. A bow window extends through two storeys to the left, featuring a 15-pane sash with sidelights on the ground floor and a 12-pane sash with sidelights above. The central bay projects slightly, featuring a cornice and a 15-pane sash with sidelights at ground floor, and a 12-pane sash with blind sidelights above. The end bay to the right also projects slightly, with a 15-pane sash in a plain, raised surround, a cornice above, and a 12-pane sash above that. Deep eaves are present. The right side features rendered quoins, datestones set in the wall, a flat-roofed porch with a half-glazed door and sidelights, and a 12-pane sash window above, illuminating the stairwell. A later 19th-century wing extends from the right side, with a single light at its first floor. A single-storey outhouse is attached to the rear of the porch. The left side has a 12-pane sash window at the first floor, while a two-storey service wing sits to the left, incorporating a 20th-century flat-roofed addition in the angle, with a French window at the first floor. A 1½-storey stable is attached at right angles to the left with a rubble construction and a hipped slate roof. This stable has a 3-light 20th-century window in the gable end, a single light with iron stanchions to the left, double doors in the front with a loading door above, a second loading door to the right under the eaves, and a door to the end right.

At the rear, the house has three bays to the left, with a single light and two 12-pane sashes, all under brick segmental heads. There are three doors and a 2-light casement at ground floor. A porch is situated in the angle with the service wing to the right, which has twelve 12-pane sash windows, also with brick segmental heads, larger at ground floor. A rear stack rises from the eaves to the left, with a ridge stack on the service wing. The interior stair hall features an open-well staircase with a moulded handrail, paired turned and knopped balusters, an open string with scroll carving. The three front rooms each have a three-panelled fielded door with raised panels and soffits. The first front room has panelled shelving. The second room has a plain cornice, panelled shutters to the windows, and a black marble chimneypiece. The bow-fronted room features a coloured marble chimneypiece, a similar cornice, and window shutters.
