Low Noonvares Farmhouse, Including Front Garden Walls

Low Noonvares Farmhouse, including the front garden walls, is a farmhouse with a small portion of an early 17th century house that serves as a service wing to a mid 19th century house. The building features walls made of killas rubble with dressed granite quoins, jambstone, and lintels. The older section has painted rubble and incorporates a possibly resited early 17th century moulded granite doorway. The roofs are covered with scantle slate and have brick chimneys at the gable ends, along with a stump of an external rubble stack on the left of the older part, topped by a tall brick shaft that rises just above the verge. The gutters are made of cast iron and have an ogee shape.

The layout consists of a double depth 19th century house with a front room on either side of a central cross passage leading to a staircase behind the right-hand room. There is a shallow service room behind the left-hand room. To the left side, set back from the front and extending further at the rear, is a two-storey, one-room plan that is a remnant of the older house. There is also a small 20th century addition at the rear, which is two storeys high. The symmetrical 19th century front has two windows with a central doorway, plus one window from the older front that is set back on the left. The 19th century front features a 20th century door with an overlight and original 16-pane hornless sashes. The first-floor windows are spaced closer together. The older part has the resited early 17th century doorway on the right and a small six-pane casement window next to the left-hand jamb. Above this is an early 19th century 12-pane hornless sash window. The doorway is decorated with cavetto and ovolo moulding and has step and tongue stops. Inside, the older part has a stone flag floor, while the 19th century section remains virtually complete and unaltered since it was built.

The garden wall is made of grouted rubble, and aligned with the 19th century front door is a gateway featuring round-headed granite monolith jambs and a wrought iron gate. The incorporation of part of an older house is unusual, and the quality of the 17th century doorway indicates that the original building may have been of some significance. The combination of 17th and 19th century elements creates an attractive appearance.
