Parc Behan

Parc Behan, originally known as Behan Park House, is a vicarage dating to around 1802-1810, built for Jeremiah Trist, the vicar. The house is constructed of painted brick with a low-pitched roof covered in Delabole slate, and features brick chimneys positioned over the side walls. It follows a double-depth central stair plan. The south front has two storeys and a 2:1:2 bay arrangement; the right-hand bay is slightly recessed and likely added between 1930 and 1940. The central bay, original to the house, projects forward, featuring a tripartite sash window on both the ground and first floors, with an oculus set within the gable above. The remaining windows are 12-pane sashes, set within slightly cambered brick arches in bays 1, 2, 4, and 5. Architectural details include a plinth, a broad band separating the floors, an eaves cornice with widely spaced modillions, and rusticated quoins. The west front is stuccoed over brick and features a two-column, single-row (distyle, prostyle) Doric porch with a flat roof. A recessed arch-headed stair window with geometric glazing bars and a fanlight is also present. The interior retains its original layout with panelled doors and an open-well, open-tread staircase with a mahogany handrail. Original ceilings are now concealed.
