Carne Farmhouse And Garden Walls Immediately South And West Of House

Carne Farmhouse and the associated garden walls are located immediately south and west of the house in Morvah and date from the early 19th century. The farmhouse is built from granite rubble with granite dressings and features a U-plan hipped roof covered in slurried scantle slate, complete with projecting eaves. There are brick chimneys located over the left side wall, the axial wall towards the right, and the rear wall on the right.

The farmhouse has a double depth plan, with a wider reception room on the right and another room behind that forms the garden front. To the left is a smaller room, and behind it is the kitchen, which has a large fireplace. The entrance hall leads to a rear stair hall situated between these spaces.

The exterior is two storeys high and features a nearly symmetrical west entrance front, with a doorway and a window positioned slightly left of the center. The round-headed doorway has rusticated jambstones and an arch, and it contains the original panelled door with a traceried fanlight above, along with original 12-pane hornless sash windows. The south garden front is also symmetrical, with three windows, although the central windows are blind. The first floor retains its original sashes, while the rear has an original stair sash and a first-floor sash on the left.

Inside, the farmhouse is virtually complete with most of its original features intact, including a dog-leg stair with a column-turned newel and stick balusters, six-panel doors with panelled reveals, a round arch leading to the entrance hall, and moulded plaster ceiling cornices in the reception rooms.

The granite-coped walls enclose an L-shaped garden to the south and west of the house, featuring a gateway to the south with granite monolithic piers and a 19th-century wrought-iron gate. The farmhouse shares similarities with Merthyr Farmhouse and may have been built by the same builder.
