Stannary House

Stannary House is a house, believed to be of 17th-century origin, that was significantly altered and refronted in the early to mid-19th century, with further changes made in the 20th century. It is constructed of rendered granite rubble, with granite quoins to the rear and brick dressings to the rear. The roof is slate, with ridge coping tiles and brick slacks to the gable ends.

The house has a double-depth plan with a central entrance positioned between the two front rooms. It is three storeys high and features two windows at the front. The ground floor has a 20-pane sash window with a segmental head on the left and right sides, and a central doorway with a glazed door and a semi-circular hood supported by brackets. The first floor has two 20-pane sashes with segmental heads, while the second floor has two 15-pane sashes set under the eaves. An embattled wall runs along the left side of the front, facing an outhouse with 20th-century double doors.

The rear of the ground floor has a 12-pane sash window with a segmental head and brick surround, alongside a 20th-century light. The first floor to the rear has a similar 12-pane sash window on the right, a 9-pane sash window under the eaves to the right, and a tall 20th-century stair light to the left.

The interior has not been inspected. The rear wall of the house may incorporate part of a building that originally formed part of the Duchy Palace Group. The rear faces a narrow lane, accessible through an archway that springs from the adjacent Shire House.
