SW 7526 MANACCAN HELFORD

6/81 Loloma Cottage 10.7.57 GV II House. Possibly late C17 remodelled in the C18 or C18, extended C20. Painted shale rubble and cob walls, slate sills, wooden lintels. Wheat reed thatched roof with brick chimneys over original gable ends. Plan originally parlour, left, and hall right, with integral outshut containing central stair and shallow service room at rear of hall. Parlour and hall now 1 room. Extended C20 to left (north). 2 storeys. Nearly symmetrical 2-window west front with slightly larger hall window, right; doorway, slightly left of middle, with C20 ledged door and open C20 thatched porch. C20 2-light casements to ground floor. 8-pane horizontal sliding sash to first floor, left, and circa late C18 early C19 12-pane 2-light casement with horizontal wooden glazing bars and vertically leaded panes on right. Splayed corner, far right. Interior has large fireplace in right-hand part (hall) with chamfered and stopped oak beam and bread oven behind right-hand jamb; bowtell moulded ceiling beams, dog- leg stair with stick balusters; and original roof structure, not inspected. Similar plan to Rosemullion qv. and similar problem of accurate dating, but whether C17 or C18, this is a fairly complete building. Here is another example of a partly leaded window of a type which seems to be peculiar to the Lizard area.
