Description
Carvynick House is a house that is now used as a restaurant and flats. It likely dates from the 17th century, with a datestone from 1669 possibly reset. The building was remodeled and extended in the 18th century and further extended in the late 19th century. It is constructed of local slate rubble with granite dressings, featuring slate hanging at the front and whitewashed brick at the rear. The roof is covered with bitumen-surfaced slate and has gabled ends, along with a hipped roof wing. There are brick stacks at the gable ends.
The original plan of the house is unclear as the interior was not inspected. The front range seems to consist of a two-room plan that has been converted into one large room, with gable end stacks and a central entrance. The wing at the lower left front is likely an 18th-century addition. In the late 19th century, a parallel range was added at the back, which also features gable end stacks and a central staircase.
The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical four-window south front. Most of the windows are large late 19th-century casements set in openings with flat dressed granite lintels and slate sills. On the ground floor to the right, there are two late 19th-century French windows. To the left of the centre, there is a circa early 17th-century four-light hollow chamfered granite mullion window with a hoodmould, slate hanging above, and a small late 19th-century two-light casement on the first floor with glazing bars. The approximately central doorway features a flat dressed granite arch with a keystone and dressed granite jambs, along with a 19th-century glazed and panelled door. Above the doorway is a granite datestone with the initials T over AC and the date 1669. The projecting wing on the left has a 20th-century glazed door and 20th-century casements above. The late 19th-century parallel range at the rear has stop-chamfered window openings with sashes that include glazing bars, as well as a similar tall stair window near the centre. The interior and roof structure were not inspected.
