Hartley Mauditt House

Hartley Mauditt House is a late Regency house, formerly a rectory, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed with plain rendered walls on stone, with a plinth and panels between the upper and lower window openings, and stone cills. The main building is a square shape with a narrow wing, featuring regular facades of two storeys. The west elevation is symmetrical with three windows and has a hipped slate roof with a wide eaves moulding. It contains sash windows in reveals, a central half-glazed door with a fanlight featuring curving bars, and a symmetrical arrangement of three windows. The north elevation, the main entrance, has two windows similar to those on the west elevation, and a porch. The porch is formed of coupled columns and a pilaster over a wide opening containing a six-panelled door and a segmental fanlight with intermingled circular bars. The columns have unusual mouldings, incorporating 'triglyph' panels above each column, and are Roman Doric with Greek Doric flutes. The south elevation, also symmetrical with three windows, is tile-hung and has a wide arched frame with a keystone enclosing an arched entrance with a French door and fanlight. To the east is a long service wing built of painted brickwork, with sash windows and a 20th century flat-roofed porch. The elevations where the main block joins the service wing reveal a tall staircase window in the main block and an entrance into the wing, all within a yard enclosed by a high wall. The main block also has stone walling with brick dressings, although these are concealed elsewhere. Inside, the house features a plain staircase, panelled doors in architraves with unusual mouldings, and a large room divided by two columns and two half-columns in a rich Doric order, along with an original marble fireplace.
