Description

Farmhouse. It was likely built in the late 16th or 17th century, with alterations and additions dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. The construction is stone rubble, with a roughcast finish to the front. The roof is dry slate, with gabled ends and clay ridge tiles, including some old crested ridge tiles. Stone axial and lateral stacks are visible. The original layout was a three-room plan with a cross-passage, facing south, with the lower end located to the east. The house is two storeys high, with a lower one-storey section and an attic to the right. The south front has an asymmetrical five-window design. Windows are 19th and 20th century casements, some with multiple lights and glazing bars, and slate sills. A chamfered granite lintel is above the ground floor window to the right of centre. The doorway is to the left of centre, featuring a granite arch with a four-centred head, fern-leaf carved spandrels, and an inscription reading "AD 1586 BYMERC" above a 20th-century door. A projecting lateral stack is on the right, with a round oven at its base, and a small single-storey wing (a privy) adjoins it to the right. The lower right-hand gable end has 20th-century casements. The rear of the property includes a single-storey outshut and a porch in the left angle, incorporating a monolithic granite column and casements with glazing bars.

Inside, the lower right-hand room has a blocked fireplace and exposed ceiling beams. The large central room (hall) has closely spaced chamfered cross-beams, some with straight-cut stops, and a large fireplace with chamfered granite monolith jambs and a chamfered timber lintel with ogee stops, along with a cloan oven. A plank and muntin screen separates the centre room from the cross-passage, with chamfered muntins. A 19th-century staircase with stack balusters is located at the back of the passage. The left (west) end room has no notable exposed features. The dairy contains slate shelves and a 20th-century partition. One surviving truss, dating from the late 16th or early 17th century, appears smoke-blackened; it is a raised arch truss with chamfered curved feet, with the chamfer continuing on the underside of the cambered collar which is dove-tail lap-jointed to the principals. It also features trenched purlins and a trenched diagonal ridge-piece. Later trusses have halved, lapped and pegged collars and halved and crossed apexes.
