Ta Mill Farmhouse

ST CLETHER SX 18 SE 3/178 Ta Mill Farmhouse - II

Farmhouse, now divided into two holiday cottages. Circa early C18, probably with earlier origins. Stone rubble, hung with rag slates on front elevation and rendered and partly slate hung on right hand side. Slate roof with gable ends. Stone rubble end stacks and stone rubble rear lateral stack. Plan: Double depth plan. Entrance to right of centre, leading into wide corridor flanked by fairly thick stone walls, larger room on front left, probably originally the hall kitchen and smaller room on front right, probably the parlour; both rooms are heated by end stacks. Back kitchen to rear left heated by rear lateral stack and probably originally dairy to rear right. The thick wall between front and rear rooms continues above first floor and it is possible that the house was originally of single depth 2-room and passage plan, and extended with service rooms across the rear in the C18. Exterior: Two storeys. Almost symmetrical 3-window slate-hung front with entrance to right of centre; C19 4-panel door with flat dressed stone arch and C20 stone rubble open porch. Flanked to left and right by early C18 tripartite sashes with thick glazing bars. Three C18 16-pane sashes on first floor, also with thick glazing bars. Interior: Fairly thick walls flank the cross passage with an early C19 dog-leg stair to rear. C19 chimney-pieces and simple C18 china cupboards in front parlour. Roof structure not inspected.
