Boatswains Cottage Gweal Meneth

Farmhouse, now two dwellings, dated 1778 on the porch and subsequently altered. The building is constructed of coursed squared granite, with a slate roof and brick chimneys. It has a rectangular plan, with a linhay extending to the rear, creating a double-depth arrangement. The main facade is two storeys high and three bays wide, symmetrical in design. A simple, pedimented porch shelters the central doorway, with monolith sides and a pediment displaying the date 1778 painted on it. The ground floor has two square windows with splayed voussoirs and pendent keystones; above them are three square windows. The central and left-hand windows on the upper floor are four-pane sashes, while those on the right-hand side, relating to Boatswains Cottage, are now twentieth-century two-light casements. Gable chimneys are present. A small addition has been made to the left-hand end wall, and a chimney rises from this end of the rear linhay. The back of Gweal Meneth features a four-pane sashed window and an added outshut porch; the rear of Boatswains Cottage has a modern addition. Inside, Gweal Meneth retains a large rectangular fireplace with a massive granite lintel and a cloam oven on the left side. Boatswains Cottage has been significantly altered internally.
