Description
Kingstone House is a former Quaker Meeting House that dates from the early 18th century and was partly remodeled in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of rubblestone with a colourwashed slate hung front and features a steeply pitched slate roof with gabled ends and overhanging eaves. There is a brick stack on the right-hand gable end. The house is two rooms deep with a central cross passage and stands two storeys high, presenting an almost symmetrical three-window front. On the ground floor, there are two 4-pane sash windows with moulded exposed sash boxes, and a central door topped with a moulded cornice supported by corbelled brackets, which is a 20th-century panelled door. The first floor has three 4-pane sashes with similar sash boxes. The building is marked on a plan of Callington dated 1722, with a copy by W H Paynter from 1933, and is referenced in Shelia Lightbody's "The Book of Callington" from 1982.
