Full description
Ordnance Survey, 1904 - 1906, Second Edition Ordnance Survey 25 inch Map (Cartographic). SDV325644.
Not depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map, the early 20th century historic map shows this building as 'Rectory'. Presumably a replacement for the building to the east of Throwleigh, not in use as a sanatorium.

In 1895 a new clergyman arrived in Throwleigh. For whatever reason, Rev. George Lincoln Gambier Lowe set about instigating a major phase of modern development which consisted primarily of ribbon development to the south. This highly unusual turn of events, at least in a Dartmoor context, may have been encouraged by the arrival of the railway at Okehampton. Certainly by the time of Rev. Lowe’s death in 1933 it had changed the size and social makeup of the village and must now be regarded as part of the distinctive history of Throwleigh. Developments as far south as the Rectory, (presumably built by Rev. Lowe upon his arrival as it is on the 1905 Ordnance Survey map) are included within the Conservation Area.
The Rectory is said to have had fine Georgian sliding sash windows.
Ordnance Survey, 2018, MasterMap 2018 (Cartographic). SDV360652.
