Description
Scorrier House is a large house built around 1910, replacing a larger 18th-century house that belonged to the Williams family, although part of the service wing from the earlier house still remains. It is constructed of granite ashlar and has slate roofs, designed in a classical style with an H-plan layout facing east, featuring an entrance on the north side and an L-plan rear wing. The house has two storeys and is arranged in a 1:3:1 bay configuration, with a plinth, a first-floor band, a cornice, and a blocking course, along with raised quoins.
The symmetrical east facade includes a set-back three-bay center with windows that have plain reveals and flat-arched heads topped with raised keystones. The wings feature canted bay windows at the ground floor and tripartite windows above, all with cornices on consoles, and all windows are sashed without glazing bars. The low hipped roof is concealed from view.
On the north side, the entrance front has four bays and features a large square single-storey porte-cochere in the third bay. This porte-cochere has rusticated corner pilasters, a moulded cornice and blocking course, and wide round-headed arches on all sides, complete with imposts, moulded heads, and keystones. It also has a pyramidal glazed roof and a round-headed inner doorway with side windows. Above the porte-cochere, there is a tripartite window similar to those in the wings, while the other windows match those at the front.
The south front, which is the left return of the left wing, has three bays in a similar style but includes a long rectangular conservatory attached. Continuing to the rear of this wing is a lower range built in different masonry, featuring segmental-headed 12-pane sashes with keystones. Attached at right angles to this is the surviving 18th-century service wing, made of brick and also featuring segmental-headed sashed windows. At the end of this wing is a three-storey element constructed of killas rubble and ashlar, which has a one-bay south front with tripartite sashed windows that also have keystones.
Inside, the ground floor of the three-bay center contains a very large hall with an imperial staircase, while the former kitchen in the rear wing features a very large fireplace.
