Garlands

Garlands is a rectory, later adapted as a private house, dating to around the middle of the 18th century, with extensions added in the mid to late 20th century. The construction is a mix of rendered and painted stone rubble and cob, with a rag slate roof, gable ends, an early crested ridge tile and rendered brick end stacks. The building has a parallel range to the rear with gable ends.

The original layout is unclear, but the earliest part seems to have been a 2-room plan, heated by end stacks, with a central entrance. The right-hand room was notably large, possibly used partly as a shop in the 19th century, evidenced by a mid-19th century canted bay window on the front elevation. A 2-storey parallel range was added to the rear in the mid to late 20th century.

The front facade is regular in design with four windows, featuring early 19th-century sash windows with crown glass. A 20th-century part-glazed door is positioned to the left of centre. The windows have 16 panes, with a renewed 16-pane sash on the right side. Four 16-pane sashes are located on the first floor. A late 20th-century extension is visible to the rear.

Inside, the interior features lath and plaster partitions and slate flag floors, largely original. Roughly chamfered ceiling beams are found in the right-hand room, along with 20th-century chimney-pieces on the ground floor. The first floor was not inspected.
