Description

Polgorran is a vicarage including attached service buildings, now divided into two houses, with attached garden wall, coach house and stable. The main building dates to circa the mid-18th century, with alterations and additions made in the early and late 19th century, and further alterations in the 20th century.

The main vicarage is constructed of rendered slatestone rubble with a hipped concrete tiled roof and brick chimney stacks to the sides. The attached service cottage is built in stone rubble with an asbestos slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends, and an axial stack with brick shaft. The coach house attached to the cottage is built in slatestone rubble with a half-hipped slate roof with ridge tiles. The attached garden wall is rendered stone rubble with slate capping.

The vicarage follows a double-depth plan with two principal rooms on the garden front and the entrance to the entrance hall and stair hall at the right side, with a further room to the rear left. A garden wall is attached at the front right and extends in an arc for approximately 30 metres. Attached to the rear right of the house is the service cottage, which has a two-room plan with each room heated from a back-to-back fireplace served from the axial stack. At the rear of the cottage is an attached coach house and stable, with the coach house to the left and stable to the right, with lofts above.

The main vicarage is two storeys. The garden front presents a symmetrical two-window facade with 19th-century 12-pane sashes at first floor and at ground floor a large 19th-century 16-pane sash and 19th-century French window. Set back to the right is the entrance hall block with a 19th-century half-glazed door and 19th-century 16-pane sash at first floor. The left side of the house features a 19th-century French window with margin glazing and a 19th-century 16-pane sash at first floor. The attached garden wall at the front right has a pentice hood over a small area with a doorway containing a six-panelled door. The wall extends approximately 2 metres high for about 15 metres to a wooden gate leading to the garden, and is extended for a further 15 metres beyond. The right side of the house has two 19th-century 20-pane sashes at first floor with a central round-arched 19th-century 12-pane sash. At ground floor are a small 19th-century 16-pane sash to the left, a 19th-century six-panelled door and a small circular window with splayed glazing bars, with a 19th-century 20-pane sash to the right. The rear of the house features a 19th-century 16-pane sash at ground and first floor to the right; to the left is a large 19th-century 20-pane sash lighting the stair and a lunette with splayed glazing bars. A small single-storey linking block connects the house to the attached service cottage.

The cottage is two storeys with a three-window front. At first floor are three 19th-century 16-pane sashes. At ground floor are a 20th-century window and door, a 19th-century four-light eight-pane casement and a 19th-century 16-pane sash. The rear of the cottage has a single-storey lean-to and 20th-century window. At the right end, which is blank, there is an attached screes wall with slate coping and a plank door. The coach house and stable, attached to the right, is two storeys with the coach house to the left and stable to the right, the latter projecting to the front right. The coach house has wide plank double doors with a timber lintel and a two-light window above with shutters with strap hinges. At ground and first floor to the right are a 19th-century two-light ten-pane casement with L hinges. The stable has a 12-pane window with shutters and toplight at ground floor, with a plank door to the right.

The interior has not been inspected but may retain good features of the 18th and 19th centuries, such as doors, staircase and good joinery details.
