Midelney Place, Walled Forecourt, And Stable

Midelney Place is a country house set in an emparked landscape, built in 1868 by James Piers St Aubyn for the Trevillion family. The house features coursed and squared rubble with Hamstone dressings and tile roofs that have crested ridges along the coped verges. It is designed in a High Victorian Tudor-Gothic style, with an asymmetrical entrance front and a symmetrical garden front, and includes lower service quarters to the north.

The building is two storeys with an attic and has an entrance front with four bays, where the right bay projects under a front-facing gable. The windows are stone-mullioned, with one, two, three, and five lights, each light topped with an arched head and stopped labels. There are two attic windows in front-facing gabled dormers. The second bay from the left features a two-storeyed gabled porch with two-stage diagonal buttresses, a two-light window on the first floor, and a pointed-arch door opening surrounded by rich moulding, leading to an ornamental ribbed door. To the left of the porch is a three-light transomed stair-light.

The garden front has five bays, with the outer bays forming projecting wings. The windows here are also stone-mullioned, with two, three, and four lights, and the ground floor windows are transomed. The right wing includes a canted oriel window on the first floor. Inside, the house boasts high-quality fittings in the Tudor-Gothic style, including coffered ceilings in the ground floor rooms, elaborate freestone chimneypieces, a well staircase with panelled newels and turned balusters, and a library with fitted shelving.

The entrance front is complemented by a walled forecourt with tile coping. On the east side, there is a late 19th-century stable block with a tile roof, which includes a throughway providing access to fitted stalls inside.
