Lanvean Cottage

House. Likely dating from the early 18th century, with alterations in the 19th century and some 20th-century additions. The walls are stone rubble, with the upper level constructed in cob, and the whole building is painted and rendered. The roof is thatched, with gable ends. A gable end stack is present on the right side, featuring a brick shaft, and a truncated gable end stack on the left.

The original layout consisted of a central entrance leading to a passage, with a room on either side; the kitchen to the left and the parlour to the right, each heated by a gable end stack. A projection to the rear left may have originally housed the staircase. Around the early to mid-19th century, a straight staircase was inserted along the right side of the passage. A 20th-century lean-to has been added to the rear.

The front of the house is two storeys high and symmetrical with a two-window arrangement. The ground floor has a 20th-century half-glazed door, and 12-pane sash windows to the right and left, with slate sills. The first floor has similar sash windows, along with a dormer with an eyebrow overhang. The left end of the building is rendered, featuring a very large external stack with a curved oven at the base. The right end is blind. The rear has a projection to the right, possibly the location of the original stair, and a 20th-century single-storey lean-to on the left.

Inside, the ground floor rooms and passage feature roughly hewn chamfered beams. The room to the right has an early 19th-century chimney-piece with a cast iron grate. Each room has a plank door. The walls on either side of the passage are plain wooden panelling, likely from the early 18th century. At first floor level, the feet of the trusses are boxed in.
