Worfield House

Worfield House is a former rectory that underwent an early 19th-century remodelling by John and William Lee of Honiton, transforming an earlier house. It is rendered and features a bitumen-painted slate roof with brick stacks. The building has an approximate L-shaped plan, consisting of two ranges at right angles, with an entrance block facing east and a main range facing south. Although the visible fabric and fittings appear to date from the 1820s, the house is believed to have an earlier core, as it is mentioned in records from 1601, 1744, and 1808.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window entrance elevation on the east side. The left end has a gable, while to the right of centre is a two-storey canted bay, and to the left of centre is a verandah supported by posts. The entrance features a panelled 19th-century front door with a glazed overlight, and the windows are early 19th-century timber sashes with small panes. The garden elevation on the south side has three bays, including a two-storey bow with a conical slate roof on the left, and early 19th-century tripartite sashes with small panes. The ground floor has 19th-century French windows with small panes, while the first floor features early 19th-century tripartite sashes.

Inside, early 19th-century features remain, including a marble chimney-piece and shutters. The roof was not inspected, but it may still contain a pre-19th-century structure. The house is attractively situated and was described in 1850 as "a good residence, in a romantic nook, having an extensive prospect in front but sheltered on other sides by woody hills."
