Description

This is a late 18th-century house, built after 1782, located on the south side of the road entering Bosherston village from the Pembroke direction. It served as a parsonage until recently. The house is two storeys and has a cellar, with a three-window facade facing north. It is constructed of rendered rubble masonry with brick dentils at the eaves and irregularly positioned block brackets supporting rainwater gutters. The windows are six-pane sash windows, with the outer windows being tripartite, featuring two mullions and narrow two-pane side sashes. The roof is hipped and slate-covered, with end chimneys. A rubble masonry garden wall fronts the property, incorporating a mounting block at the left entrance gate.

Symmetrical lateral stone staircases, approximately 1.2 metres in rise, lead to the front-door landing, complete with wrought-iron railings. A deep-set arched doorway features a fanlight, molded archivolt, and thin sunk-panel pilasters.

A schoolroom wing was added in 1838, set back to the west. A later, larger servants' wing, constructed of plain limestone masonry on the east side, was completed before 1864. This wing has a two-window range with six-pane sash windows set in brick-dressed openings, slightly recessed from the main block. A rear service wing adjoins the kitchen and includes a dairy.

The interior follows a double-pile and double-fronted plan, with a full-depth hallway containing a dogleg staircase. The original staircase features simple square-section balustrades. A rear landing window is slightly off-centre. The ceilings are very high, and the dining and drawing rooms are positioned at the front of the house. The plan was altered in 1838 to provide access to the schoolroom wing. Bedrooms on the left and right of the front facade retain original fireplaces; the left fireplace is complete with unusual dust-flues protruding from the smoke-shelf. Windows throughout have interior folding shutters.

The building is notable as a fine late-Georgian parsonage and retains group value relative to its historical context.
