St Breock Place

Rectory, now a private house, dating to approximately the late 17th century, with possible earlier origins, and remodelled in the early and mid 18th century. The building is constructed of stone rubble, with a partly slate-hung exterior on the left-hand side. It has a rag slate roof with hipped ends and a hipped end to the rear wing. Projecting stone rubble end stacks are present on the left, and an axial stack to the rear of the right-hand room. Axial brick stacks are located at the rear of the wing.

The original layout is uncertain. The front range comprises a two-room plan, with the entrance opening directly into the smaller left-hand room, which is heated by an end stack. An early to mid 18th-century staircase is located directly to the rear of the left-hand room. The larger right-hand room has complete late 17th-century panelling and is heated by a fireplace in the rear wall. The wing to the rear may have been added in the early to mid 18th century, creating an overall 'T' shaped plan, or it may be contemporary with the front range, being remodelled in the 18th century. This wing is heated by axial stacks, and contains service rooms towards the rear. A parallel one-room-plan range to the rear of the left-hand room is probably from the 18th century, with a two-room-plan range added to the left-hand side of the rear wing around the late 19th century.

The building is two storeys and has a cellar. The front has a regular six-window arrangement. The left-hand ground-floor window has a brick segmental arch, and an early 19th-century doorcase fronts the entrance to the left of centre. Three 19th-century 12-pane sashes are positioned to the right, each with dressed stone flat arches. The first floor contains five 12-pane sashes, and a blind window to the left of centre. Stepped angle buttresses are present on the front right.

The interior retains substantial late 17th-century, early 18th-century, and mid 18th-century joinery and carpentry details. The room on the front right has complete late 17th-century bolection moulded panelling, and a mid to late 19th-century chimney-piece. An early to mid 18th-century staircase features turned balusters with newels comprising clusters of four turned balusters and a deep moulded rail. A first-floor chamber on the front right has raised and fielded panelling. Early to mid 18th-century moulded cornices are present on the landing and corridors of the first floor. The late 19th-century roof structure incorporates the truncated feet of circa 18th-century principals.
