Pathe House

Pathe House is a house dated 1799, based on deeds. It features a 20th-century roughcast exterior and a hipped slate roof with wide eaves and brick stacks, reflecting Regency style. The symmetrical front has a basement and two storeys, with three bays and 20 and 30-pane sash windows that have cambered heads. There is a central door opening with a six-panelled door, where the top two panels are glazed, and a simple roughcast portico. Six steps lead up to the door, flanked by low walls.

On the right side, facing the roadside, there is an entrance to the basement, which appears to have been used for carriages. This entrance has a cambered head opening with plank doors, and another similar opening has been blocked with a Gothick casement. Inside, the ground floor is supported on brick vaulting.

There is an attached cider house set back to the left, constructed of rubble with brick dressings, featuring hipped double-Roman and pantiled roofs, and a covered way with a catslide. It has two door openings and a blocked door opening on the ground floor, with plank doors. Inside the cider house, there is a cider press.

Pathe House was the home of Colonel John Rouse Merriott Chard VC, a hero of the Battle of Rorke's Drift in South Africa in 1879.
