Description
Vernel and the adjoining outbuilding is a house and attached outbuilding built in 1732 for I K, as indicated by the datestone. The structure is made of stone rubble, with part of the exterior covered in slate hung with rag slates on the rear. It features a slate roof with end stacks, one of which projects and includes a cloam oven. The layout consists of a two-room plan with a cross passage, where the larger hall kitchen is located on the right, heated by an end stack, and a probable parlour on the left. There is a stair projection at the rear, along with 19th-century outshuts on both the left and right sides. A circa 19th-century outbuilding has been added to the left end.
The exterior is two storeys high and has an almost symmetrical three-window front. It features a 19th-century panelled door with a slate hood, flanked by two late 19th-century four-pane sash windows that have dressed stone arches and narrow slate strings above. There are three additional late 19th-century four-pane sashes on the first floor. The datestone reading "IK 1732" is visible. The outbuilding on the left has plank doors on both the ground and first floors.
Inside, the right-hand room has chamfered ceiling beams. The fireplace is currently blocked by a Rayburn stove, but the owners report that the surround is intact and includes two cloam ovens. The left-hand room and the first floor have not been inspected.
