Gwithian Farmhouse

Gwithian Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century or possibly the early 18th century, with a 20th-century extension. The building features painted rubble and cob walls with wooden lintels, and it has a wheat reed thatched roof with brick chimneys at the original gable ends. The farmhouse has an L-shaped plan with a T-shaped overall layout due to the 20th-century addition on the left side. Originally, it likely consisted of two rooms with a cross passage or lobby entrance between them. A one-room-plan wing was probably added behind the left-hand room in the 18th or early 19th century. There is also an outshut projection in front of the left-hand room, which may be a 20th-century rebuild or remodelling of a stair projection.

The exterior is two storeys high, featuring eyebrows over the thatch above the first-floor windows. The east front of the original house has an irregular arrangement of three windows, along with one window from the 20th-century extension on the left. The doorway, located to the left of the middle, is possibly a resited 20th-century ledged door. To the right, there is a wide 20th-century three-light casement window with glazing bars, while the first floor has 20th-century 12-pane two-light casements. The rear wing includes an old 16-pane casement window in the left-hand wall. The interior has not been inspected.
