Description

Sancreed House is a former rectory dating to 1830. It was built for William Stabback, who served as Rector from 1811 to 1837. The house has stuccoed walls and a scantle slate hipped roof. There are stuccoed chimneys over the rear partition walls of the reception rooms and along the left-hand wall towards the rear, serving the kitchen. These chimneys are topped with 19th-century octagonal clay chimney pots. Cast-iron ogee gutters are also present.

The building is arranged with three rooms deep on the left side of a central entrance hall leading to the stair hall, and two rooms deep on the right (garden) front. To the left is a reception room or study, behind which are a butler's pantry and kitchen. A single-storey pantry projects to the left of the kitchen, and the garden front contains two reception rooms.

The south-west entrance front is symmetrical, with three windows and a central doorway. It features a granite plinth and sills, giant panelled pilasters flanking the original six-pane door, and an original wooden Tuscan porch. The symmetrical south-east garden front also has three windows, with a central domed niche on the ground floor and flanking canted bay windows with hornless sashes and glazing bars. Original twelve-pane sashes are located above.

Inside, the original open-well staircase remains, along with panelled doors and some plaster ceiling cornices.
