Lanyon Farmhouse, Including Front Garden Area Wall

Lanyon Farmhouse, including the front garden area wall, is a Grade II* listed farmhouse built for the Lanyon family. The datestone on the porch indicates it was constructed in 1668, although it may have an earlier core. The building features a granite ashlar front, with granite rubble elsewhere and granite dressings. The roofs are covered with asbestos slate and have gable ends, with two lateral brick chimneys on the rear wall and an external stone stack at the right gable end.

The overall plan is an irregular T shape, with a two-storey porch to the left of the middle at the front. There is a stair hall in an outshut at the rear of the former through passage and a later service wing at right angles behind the room to the right of the porch. The main front range has four single-depth rooms; the two rooms to the left of the porch were likely originally a large hall (now a kitchen and small parlour), while the two equal-sized rooms to the right were probably both parlours.

The exterior is two storeys high, with a regular three:one:four bay north front. The two-storey porch, dated 1668, has a coped gable end with scrolled kneelers, a moulded basket-arched doorway, and a three-light mullioned window above the doorway that rises partly into the gable. There are square hoodmoulds and the Lanyon coat of arms above the doorway with the motto: VIVE VT VIVAS. The right-hand ground floor window opening features a flat arch with voussoirs. There is one 18th-century sash window with wide glazing bars in the second from the right first floor opening, while the other windows are early 19th-century sashes, all with 12 panes.

The interior is plain, with earlier features likely hidden. There is an 18th-century panelled inner porch doorway and a circa 1900 stair. A 17th or 18th-century plaster ceiling was present in the right-hand room until a few years ago but has since fallen. The first floor and roof structure have not been inspected.

Rubble garden walls enclose a rectangular garden on two sides at the front. Aligned with the porch doorway is a gateway with dressed granite monolithic piers.
