House, formerly a rectory. Built 1849 (White's Directory of Devonshire, 1850). Stone, with slate roofs and brick chimneys. Romantically asymmetrical 'Tudor' design. 2 storeys, U-shaped plan, the main house occupying one side and half the base of the U, the service wing occupying the rest. North-west (garden) front dominated off-centre to left by gabled projection with canted bay window of 2 storeys. 1 window in each storey to left of projection, 2 to right. Second-storey windows have gables above them, each with a slit window in its centre. Both these and the gabled projection complete with kneelers and copings. Sash windows, those in second storey with a single glazing-bar. North-east (entrance front) has slightly lower roofline to service wing on left, but otherwise a single design. To right, gabled projection with bay window like that on garden front. To left of projection an entrance porch set at an angle, pent roof, 4-centred arched doorway containing double doors, studded and with ornate strap-hinges. Left-hand end of front has 2 projecting chimney-stacks, that on right with a quirky angle-buttress. Between this and the porch a ground-storey window with 2 Tudor-arched lights. South-east front has 2 ground-storey and 1 second-storey window with latticed iron glazing. Dramatic roof-lines to whole building with crested ridge-tiles and clustered chimney-shafts, the latter diagonally-set and with decorative tops. Well-preserved interior. Formerly known as East Ogwell Rectory.
