Kilmington House

Kilmington House is an early 19th-century rectory, later converted into a detached house, with extensions added in the late 19th century. The construction is of rendered brick and rubblestone with a hipped Welsh slate roof. The main part of the house is two storeys and three windows wide. A six-panelled door, with sidelights in a chamfered surround, is centrally positioned on the left-hand side, alongside a 12-pane tripartite sash window to the right and a 12-pane sash to the left. The first floor has two tripartite sashes and a single 12-pane sash. The garden front, on the right return, features five 12-pane sashes on the ground floor, a plat band, and five 9-pane sashes on the first floor. Two bays on the right are a 1889 extension, with a datestone to the rear bearing the initials TS, for Townsend Selwyn, the rector. The rear of the house has a pair of gabled wings with sash windows. The left return includes a single-storey attached outbuilding, arranged around the kitchen yard, featuring 3-light casement windows, fixed windows, and planked doors. The interior includes a good stair hall with open-well stairs, stick balusters, and a continuous wreathed handrail. An elliptical archway leads to a passage. The drawing room has a classical fireplace with floral and egg-and-dart mouldings, and doors with six fielded panels in panelled reveals. The building ceased to function as a rectory in the 1940s.
