Borlase'S

This is a hall house, later extended into a large house, situated within landscaped grounds including a pond. The original structure dates to the early 16th century, with subsequent extensions in the 17th and 19th centuries. Early 20th-century alterations, extensions, and restoration work have also been undertaken. The building is timber-framed with brick infill, and features hipped and half-hipped old tile roofs. The original layout was an L-shape, consisting of two bays of timber framing, with a later two-bay extension to the north and a larger extension to the east, incorporating reused timbers. Subsequent smaller 20th-century extensions further complicate the plan. The house is predominantly two stories high, with some single-story sections. There are six chimneys, four of which have clay pots. Eaves are open. Leaded casements with diamond mullions are present throughout.

The south front, which serves as the main entrance, is irregular in appearance. The left-hand portion has a large, raked, projecting chimney centrally positioned, with a single two-light window on the first floor to the right. The central portion is set back from the left, featuring a double-height five-light window with a large moulded transom and a small hipped roof. A lower hip roof covers a small entrance porch, housing a pair of 20th-century glazed doors. The right-hand portion has a 19th-century gable showing exposed reused timbers. One two-light window is on the first floor, with a taller, similar window on the ground floor.

The west garden front is also highly irregular. The oldest part is on the right, with a wide gable with a half-hip to the right of centre, featuring two two-light windows on the first floor and a three-light window on the ground floor. A pair of leaded garden doors are located to the left of the ground floor window. A further right-hand portion displays a four-light window on the first floor and a square hipped roof bay on the ground floor, housing an eight-light window. A projecting gable with a half-hipped roof is on the left, with a three-light window on the first floor and a smaller 20th-century extension on the ground floor, featuring continuous windows and a hipped roof. A further set-back 20th-century extension to the left has a four-light window on the first floor, a three-light window on the ground floor, and a half-glazed garden door.

The interior retains exposed timber framing, much of which has been restored. There are two large fireplaces, one inserted into the former hall.
