Old Coptiviney

The Old Coptiviney is a mid-17th century farmhouse with later additions and alterations. It is timber-framed with red brick infill and a slate roof. The main range is two storeys and has four framed bays. The framing consists of slightly irregular, tall rectangular panels, three from sill to wall-plate, with slightly raised eaves. The right gable end features a collar and slightly cambered tie beam truss with raking struts from the tie beam to the principal rafters and a vertical strut to the collar. Slate hanging covers the left gable end. There are small 19th-century casements in the panels of framing; one is to either side of a roughly central ground floor entrance, with one to the left and two to the right on the first floor. A segmental-headed boarded door lies under a 19th-century gabled brick porch, with an external lateral stack to the right and a red brick stack behind the ridge to the left. A timber-framed outshut is located at the rear, previously with a continuous catslide roof, now featuring raised eaves.

A late 18th or early 19th century two-storey red brick addition, set at right angles to the rear on the left, includes an integral end stack. An early 19th century red brick lean-to, with a toothed eaves cornice, is attached to the left gable end of the main range.

The interior of the right ground floor room reveals deep-chamfered cross beams with flat, heavy joists to the front and chamfered joists to the rear. Chamfered wall posts are visible to both the front and rear. A light timber-framed partition separates the room from a section open to the roof. The centre room showcases a chamfered spine beam, chamfered joists, and an infilled inglenook fireplace with a 19th-century cast-iron range set against the ridge stack. A small leaded casement is visible in the original back wall. The left room features slightly twin chamfered spine beams and joists, along with a panelled corner cupboard in the front right corner. A 19th-century cellar below includes a cast-iron pump and well.

The red brick addition to the rear contains a large brick chimney with a wooden lintel over the fireplace and a cast-iron sink with a furnace located below to the left. Two chamfered spine beams are present in the ceiling, which is largely missing. The roof of the main range has trusses, similar to that visible on the right gable end externally. Plank doors are found throughout, several with pointed strap hinges. The group value is evident across the composition of the building and its additions.
