South Lankelly

South Lankelly is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the early 16th century, with extensions made in the early 17th century, early 18th century, and mid-19th century. The building is constructed from rendered rubblestone and cob, featuring a moulded plinth at the rear of the north range. The roof on the east slope of the right-hand range is covered with rag slate, while the rear slope has a scantle slate roof. The right-hand end of the building is hipped, and the projecting left-hand range has a higher scantle slate roof with gable ends. There is a projecting rear lateral stack next to a stair projection on the west side, and a rubblestone stack with slate strings on the right-hand gable end of the front projecting range.

The layout includes a right-hand range with a wide through passage that is blocked at the rear. The earlier part on the right is now a store, while the left-hand room has a stair projection at the back. The right range is a single room that was extended to the rear to create a double-depth plan around the mid-19th century. The farmhouse has two storeys and an asymmetrical four-window east front. On the ground floor, the projecting range on the left features a part-glazed 20th-century door and a 19th-century two-light casement window with glazing bars. To the right, there is a long low range with a 19th-century two-light casement window with glazing bars beneath a timber lintel on the left, a part-glazed 20th-century door, and another two-light casement window with glazing bars and a timber lintel in an earlier doorway. Above, on the left, there are a 19th-century two-light casement and a one-light casement, both with glazing bars. In the store on the right, there are three small unglazed timber mullioned windows from around the 16th century, featuring diamond mullions; one is located in a blocked door opening on the front, and the others on the first floor are also blocked.

Although the interior has been altered, evidence of joist holes suggests that the first floor originally extended only partway over the ground floor. The roof features a 19th-century scissor truss design. To the left of the cross passage, there is a 20th-century fireplace next to the rear lateral stack, and a stone winder stair. The upper floor and roof have not been inspected. An inventory dated 1625 is held at the County Record Office in Truro.
