St Anne'S House

St Anne's House is a former vicarage constructed between 1856 and 1858 by William White for Sir Frederick Lemon Rogers of Blachford. The house is built of rendered stone, with parts of the exterior slate-hung, and has steeply-pitched scantle slate roofs with gabled ends. Large rendered gable-end stacks are topped with slate weatherings.

The building follows a T-shaped plan, with two principal rooms facing south, a stair hall with a side entrance, and service rooms in the rear wing. It is built in a Victorian Gothic/Vernacular style.

The south front range is two storeys and an attic, with a tall, slate-hung façade featuring a bell-cast string course. It has a three-bay south front, with a canted bay on the left and a French casement on the right, both sheltered by slate canopies. The first floor has two-light and a central one-light casements above, all featuring small panes and glazing bars. Each gable end has two pointed arch attic windows. The west side of the rear wing includes very small first-floor closet windows under the eaves, a half-hipped gabled bay on the left, and a late 20th-century porch at the centre. The east side has a string course, a large stone buttress with weathered set-offs on the right, a canted bay at the centre, and a lean-to stone porch set in an angle with the gable-ended front range on the left, featuring an arch-braced doorway and plank double doors.

The interior remains largely intact and complete, retaining much of the original joinery, including five-panel doors, Gothic chimney-pieces on the first floor and in the attic, and two staircases. The main staircase has a pierced solid balustrade with a separate handrail and tall newels; the back staircase also has tall newels and a child gate at the top.
