Landewednack House

Landewednack House is a former rectory dating from the late 17th century, originally built for the Church of St Winwalaus. Extensions were added in the 18th and mid-19th centuries, with a remodelling of the exterior taking place around the mid-19th century. The house is constructed of plastered stone, with the upper walls made of cob. It has a steeply pitched roof covered in asbestos slate and rendered chimney stacks at the gable ends. The original section is a single depth, two-room plan with a central cross passage. It was later extended to form a double depth plan and a wing to the rear.

The front of the house is symmetrical, featuring three widely spaced windows. These are 12-pane sashes with intact glazing bars. The central doorway has a 19th-century panelled door. A glazed verandah was added around the early 20th century across the front.

Inside, much of the joinery from the 18th and 19th centuries remains, including a good early 19th-century open string staircase with coved tread soffits, straight balusters and a wreathed handrail. A shallow elliptical arch with acanthus console brackets provides a hall screen. Some fielded panelling is also present on the first floor.
