Polyne Farmhouse

Polyne Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 17th century. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble and features a cement-washed scantle slate roof on the front slope, with an asbestos slate roof on the rear slope. The roof is adorned with at least five early crested ridge tiles and has half-hipped ends, with a brick chimney stack located at the lower hipped end. A large projecting stone rubble chimney stack is situated at the rear of the hall.

The layout consists of two rooms and a through passage, with the hall located at the higher end, heated by the lateral stack. An unheated room was added at the higher end, separated from the hall by a thick stone rubble wall. There is a staircase, likely from the early 20th century, in a projecting wing at the rear of the through passage, which may indicate the position of an earlier staircase. Additional service rooms were also added in this rear projecting wing, which was raised from one to two stories around the 1960s.

The farmhouse has two storeys and a regular four-window front, featuring 20th-century metal two-light casements fitted into earlier openings. A part-glazed door is located in a 20th-century porch to the right of the center. The rear elevation includes the lateral chimney stack incorporated into a later lean-to outshut. The rear projecting wing is made of rendered stone rubble and concrete block, topped with a slate roof and gable end, and has a large stone rubble chimney stack on the gable end.

Inside, the through passage is slate flagged. The hall fireplace is partly blocked and features a reused lintel. The roof timbers were replaced in the 19th century and are oak pegged and nailed.
