Hogus House

Hogus House, formerly known as The Rectory, is a former rectory now used as a house, dating from around the late 18th century. It was extended in the early 19th century and likely underwent further alterations in the late 19th century, with some reductions in the 20th century. The front is made of granite ashlar, while the rest of the building is constructed from granite rubble with granite dressings. It has hipped roofs covered with granite scantle slate and features brick chimneys.

The original plan was likely L-shaped, consisting of two equally sized front reception rooms with an entrance hall in between, and a study and service wing extending at right angles behind the right-hand room. In the early 19th century, the rear of the house was remodeled and extended to create a garden front on the right, featuring a central canted bay and another canted bay at the rear middle. The stair hall was probably relocated to its current position behind the left-hand room, and a service wing with a servant's stair was added behind the stair hall. This service wing was reduced to a single storey in the 20th century.

The exterior has two storeys over a basement, with the cellar located under the right-hand room only. The symmetrical south front has five windows, with a basement acting as a plinth, a cill string at the ground floor, a midfloor string, and a moulded parapet cornice. The building features chamfered rusticated quoins and flat arches with projecting keystones above the windows. A round-headed doorway is approached by a flight of four granite steps, leading to a panelled door that possibly has its original fanlight above.

Inside, there are 18th-century features such as chimney pieces in three reception rooms, some moulded ceiling cornices, window shutters, and six-panel doors. Early 19th-century features include an open-well open-string stair with guttae detail.
