Yarlington House

Yarlington House is a detached country house built in 1782 for John Rogers and extended in 1911. It features roughly cut and squared Cary stone, with red brick facades on the east and south sides that have boulting stone dressings. The house has a hipped Welsh slate roof and brick chimney stacks with moulded stone caps. It stands two storeys high with attics, and the east elevation has three bays, with the center bay projecting slightly and topped by a gabled parapet. Architectural details include a plinth, band course, cornice, and a plain parapet with moulded coping. The windows are 12-pane sash types in architraves, with the central first-floor window featuring ears and heels. The lower outer bays have Venetian windows, while the central bay has a doorway with a Tuscan pilaster surround and a full entablature beneath a flat hood, flanked by two slim sash windows in shell-head architraved panels, although these are 20th-century additions.

The south elevation consists of nine bays, with bays five to nine dating from the 18th century and bays one to four from 1911. There are minor variations in detail, including a French door with anse-de-panier arched head in lower bay four. On the west side, there is a flat-roofed extension with a parapet and ball finials at the corners. The north elevation is rather plain and has been modified in the 20th century, with the main entrance now located on this side.

Inside, the house appears largely unaltered and features six-panel doors in panelled reveals, which are almost Regency in style, along with plain dadoes and a variety of 18th-century ceiling cove mouldings. There is a fine curved cantilevered wood staircase on the north side, and one notable 18th-century fireplace in the hall, while the others have been removed but replaced with various French 18th-century fireplaces, including one in marble and another in scagliola. The 20th-century additions are well-detailed.
