Description
Kingston House is a house, formerly a vicarage, probably dating to around 1880, designed by G E Street. It is constructed of tooled ashlar stone with stone slate roofs, coped gables, and ashlar stacks with moulded caps and semi-octagonal ends. The building has an irregular plan and is in the Gothic Revival style. It is two storeys high, with a basement to part of the building.
The entrance front features projecting gabled wings at each end. The central recessed section has been partly infilled to the left with a block, which is both gabled and flat-roofed with a parapet. To the left of this infill, a lean-to extension projects from the basement level. The left end projection has a central buttress; a string course runs beneath the first-floor windows. The basement level has two two-light stone mullioned windows. The ground floor has a two-light stone mullioned and transomed window with leaded lights in the upper part. Beside this is a basement lean-to with two two-light stone mullioned windows. Above the lean-to on the ground floor is a two-light stone mullioned window under a four-centred arch. There are two two-light stone mullioned windows on the first floor. The central infill block contains a panelled door set in a four-centred arch within a square frame, topped by a hood mould. To the right of the door are two three-light stone mullioned and transomed windows under a continuous hood mould, separated by a buttress with moulded offsets. Above the door on the first floor are two two-light mullioned windows, followed by two two-light stone mullioned and transomed windows with leaded lights in the upper parts. The right end projecting wing has, on its ground floor, two two-light mullioned and transomed windows with leaded lights and hood moulds. A similar three-light window is located on the first floor, with a small single-light window in the gable above. Stone steps with a stone balustrade, partly pierced with ogee-headed openings, lead to the entrance.
The interior has not been inspected, but is reputed to contain 17th-century panelling, likely from Encombe House. Attached to the east are matching stables and a coach house. The north side has door and loft openings. A drawing of the house appears in "The Architect" magazine, dated September 21, 1878.
