Landue

Landue is a county house built in the late 17th century, likely incorporating parts of an earlier structure, with later additions and alterations. It features a stuccoed slate-stone exterior and a hipped slate roof with deep eaves and ornamental cresting along the ridge of the main range, as well as gabled dormers on the right return. The building has a basic L-plan with the right return extending north to form a projecting range. It stands two storeys high with an attic, showcasing a chamfered granite plinth and a floor band. The front has nine windows, with 8-paned horned sashes set in moulded surrounds, and the first-floor windows feature labels.

The central entrance consists of 20th-century glazed double doors beneath an 18th-century semi-circular wooden hood supported by scrolled brackets. A rendered ridge stack with recessed blind panels is located to the right. The parallel rear range includes three two-light cinquefoil-headed windows with cavetto-moulded king mullions, creating a large six-light window with a label. There is also a recessed narrow segmental-headed window above to the left and a tall window with Y-tracery that lights the staircase. A detached former wine cellar is connected to the projecting range, which continues from the right return.

On the courtyard side of the right return, there are cavetto-moulded granite mullion windows on both floors, including a large six-light window with king mullions to the left of centre on the ground floor. Most of these windows have leaded latticed casements, some featuring L-hinges. A bell is located directly below the eaves to the left of centre. The gabled dormers also have leaded latticed casements and are positioned in the middle of the roof slope. A late 19th-century single-storey service range with a prominent flat-roofed lantern projects at right angles to the left.

The interior was not fully inspected during the resurvey in January 1988, but it includes a late 17th-century framed newel staircase with turned balusters on an open string, a moulded handrail, and square newels. The ground-floor rooms of the main range feature plaster cornices and 19th-century marble fireplaces. A room in the parallel rear range, illuminated by a large cinquefoil-headed mullion window, has a 19th-century elaborately columned granite fireplace and a decorated plaster ceiling, along with Victorian cast-iron fireplaces in the attics.
