Description
St Blane's House is a 2-storey, 4-bay villa built in 1835, featuring an irregular plan and asymmetrical gables. The exterior is harled with sandstone rubble and has yellow ashlar margins, a base course, and an eaves course. The windows have plain, chamfered architraves, and the gables break the eaves to accommodate first-floor windows. The gables are topped with gablet-coping and bracketed skewputts.
On the southwest, or principal elevation, the house has a 4-bay façade with a porticoed entrance at the center. This entrance is supported by free-standing, ashlar Doric columns and features an open, flat-roofed porch with a central pediment. The entrance includes a 2-leaf, timber panelled door with a letterbox fanlight and flanking windows, along with a first-floor window to the right. To the left, there is a gabled bay with a gablehead stack, while the right side has a slightly advanced gabled bay and a 2-storey, advanced canted bay in the center, which ends in a blocked parapet.
The northeast, or rear elevation, also has 4 bays with regular fenestration and a gabled second bay to the right. The northwest side elevation consists of 3 bays with regular fenestration, featuring a gabled bay to the left. The southeast side elevation has 3 bays with regular fenestration and includes a 2-bay advanced stable wing to the left with a segmentally-arched stable door on the left return, as well as a single bay, advanced garage wing to the right. An enclosed service yard is formed by a rubble wall and gates between the outer bays, with a timber-panelled door to the central bay.
The windows throughout the house are 12-pane, timber-framed, sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slates and lead flashing, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods along with coped gable stacks.
Inside, the house features good quality plasterwork and timber panelled doors, shutters, and dados throughout.
The gatepiers and boundary wall consist of square-plan columns on plinths with a plain frieze and low, pyramidal caps, complemented by a coped rubble wall.
