House. Circa 1812. On the site of an older farmhouse. Painted roughcast, hipped double-pitched thatch roof with four brick lateral stacks to side walls. Double-depth plan. Exterior: two storeys; two-window range to the west garden front, one window to the north left entrance return. Late 19th century horned 2/2-pane sash windows to the first floor, French windows with margin panes to the ground floor under a late 19th century verandah with timber columns and a corrugated roof which continues round to the north side. This forms a porch over a circa 1812 doorcase with reeded pilasters supporting an entablature over a six-panel door and overlight of diamond-shaped panes; 6/6-pane sash window above. Three similar windows to the rear. Interior: the staircase between the ranges to the right has stick balusters, a painted mahogany rail and a turned newel, and between the two ground-floor rooms to the right, is a reeded architrave with plain blocks to the upper corners and panelled double doors. Historical note: 'The History of Old Landscore House' records transactions of land in 1715 and 1758. The house is reputed to have been built by Admiral Tobin, son-in-law of Lord Nelson who is said to have stayed here with Lady Hamilton.
