Description

Polmaugan is a farmhouse dating from around the late 17th century, with some remodeling done in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of rubblestone, featuring later granite lintels over the ground floor windows. It has a steeply pitched roof made of slurried scantle slate, with a hipped end on the left and a gabled end on the right. There are brick stacks at both ends of the house. The original layout was likely a three-room and cross passage plan, which has been extended on the right-hand gable end and to the rear, adding a dairy and an outshut.

The farmhouse has two storeys and a regular four-window front, with the right-hand side set slightly forward. The left-hand side has two 19th-century 12-pane sash windows under granite lintels, while the right-hand side features a four-panelled door that is set slightly back, accompanied by a 19th-century 20-pane sash window to the right. On the first floor, there are two sashes on the left, each with eight panes; one is from the 19th century and the other from the 20th century, with an 18th-century sash above the door that has ten panes in the top section and fifteen below. To the right, there is a 19th-century 16-pane sash window. Most of the first-floor windows contain crown glass, except for the extreme left window.

On the right-hand gable end, there is a late 18th-century extension made of rubble stone, which has a slightly lower slate roof with gable ends. This section has an asymmetrical two-storey, one-window front, featuring a two-light timber casement with glazing bars under a granite lintel on the left and a two-light timber casement to the right in a blocked opening. Above, there is a three-light casement with glazing bars. The building also has two or more post-medieval ridge tiles. The interior has not been inspected. The site is noted as the location of a former manor house, as referenced in Joseph Polsue's "Lanes Parochial History of the County of Cornwall," published between 1867 and 1873.
