PETER TAVY CUDLIPPTOWN SX 57 NW 9/81 - Farmhouse at SX 522 788 - II
Farmhouse. C17 origin much altered in C19. Granite and slate rubble walls. Slate roof at 3 levels, lowest at left end where it is hipped, gabled at right end. 2 axial stacks - inserted one to left is rendered brick, right-hand one is rendered rubble. Rubble stack at right gable end.
Plan: likely originally to have been longhouse and still preserves shippon at lower left end, formerly with through-passage, hall and inner room to its right. In C19 passage was blocked and given a chimney stack separating shippon from house. Main entrance then inserted into hall. A puzzling aspect of the plan is the lower roof level wing at right angles projecting from the higher end, which contains remains of early windows - either these have been re-used or it is a fragment of an earlier building, which is now used for storage.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2 window front. lst floor windows and ground floor. Left-hand window are circa late C19 2- and 3-light casements. The other ground floor windows are mid C19 casements of 3 and 2 lights. Gabled brick and glazed circa late C19 porch to left of centre. The shippon at the left end is considerably lower with a wide opening on its front wall and has an outshut built against its higher end. Projecting from the right-hand end is a lower wing, one of whose windows has a 2-light granite mullion head and dripmould above. A similar window head is built into the wall to its left. At the rear of the hall is a rectangular stair projection. Interior inaccessible at time of survey but believed to have been modernised in late C19 or early C20 with earlier features covered up.
