Description

Laverton House is a country house, originally built as a rectory in the mid-18th century, with alterations and additions made in the early 19th century. The house is constructed of coursed rubble with dressed flush quoins, featuring a moulded cornice, parapet with plain coping, coped verges, and a slate roof punctuated by three box dormers. A rubble chimney is located on the left, and a rendered chimney on the right.

The symmetrical front elevation has five bays. Sash windows with glazing bars are set within moulded stone architraves. The central first-floor window has a semi-circular head with impost and keystone detailing. The central doorway is framed by a matching moulded stone surround, featuring paired glazed doors and a transom light with decorative glazing bars, all protected by a moulded slab hood supported on cut stone brackets. A moulded string runs along the first floor level, while a plain band extends above the first-floor window openings. A single-storey, half-hipped outshut is located to the left of the first bay, featuring a sash window with glazing bars in a plain stone surround.

The interior, dating primarily to the early 19th century, includes door and window shutters, and a mid-18th century staircase.
