Ponjeravah House Including Front Garden Wall And Railings

The house, known as Ponjeravah House, dates to the early 19th century, with extensions added around the mid-19th century. It is constructed of coursed granite with dressed granite quoins, window arches, and cills, and has an asbestos slate hipped roof with deep eaves and red clay ridge tiles. Rendered brick stacks rise from the side walls. A corrugated asbestos roof covers a gable-ended outbuilding to the left. The building follows a double-depth plan, with two principal rooms of equal size; a parlour to the right and a dining room to the left, separated by an entrance passage containing a small, open-well staircase. Further rooms include a kitchen to the left and a pantry to the right, which was converted into a bathroom in the 20th century. Around the mid-19th century, a stable building with a loft was added to the left end. A porch was added to the rear in the 20th century.

The symmetrical front elevation has three windows on each floor. The early 19th-century 16-pane sashes are characteristic, although the first-floor right-hand sash is a facsimile replacement with horns, and the first floor centre sash is blind but painted to resemble a sash. All windows have flat dressed granite arches and cills. The central doorway features an early 19th-century wooden doorcase with key-motif channelling in the pilasters, topped by an open triangular pediment over a semi-circular fanlight with radiating glazing bars. A 19th-century glazed and panelled door completes the entrance. The left-hand outbuilding has a single window opening to the front with a casement, and a further casement on each floor of the gable end. The rear elevation of the main house features four early 19th-century 16-pane sashes, a stair window centrally positioned at mid-floor level, and a 20th-century porch below.

Inside, much of the original joinery remains, including panelled doors, cupboards, and internal window shutters. The open-well staircase at the back of the entrance passage has a closed string, stick balusters, and a moulded handrail which is ramped up over the turned newels. The front right-hand room retains a deeply moulded cornice and an early 19th-century wooden pilastered chimneypiece. The front left-hand room has been re-ceiled and contains a later 19th-century chimneypiece. The kitchen has an open-hearth fireplace with a bracketted shelf.

The property includes a front garden wall and railings. The granite rubble wall to the right defines a large rectangular front garden. A low granite wall with cambered granite coping runs along the road frontage, topped by wooden railings with chamfered balusters, and a gateway to the left with granite gate-posts and a wrought iron gate. Deeds suggest a construction date of 1818.
