Menadarva Farmhouse Including Rear Courtyard

Menadarva Farmhouse, which includes a rear courtyard, is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century and early 18th century, with some alterations. It is constructed of whitewashed uncoursed killas rubble, featuring granite quoins and dressings, topped with a slurried scantle slate roof. The building is arranged in an L-plan, with the main range oriented along a north-south axis and a rear wing at the southern end.

The farmhouse is two storeys high, with the eastern front being less notable than the western side that faces the courtyard. The eastern front has a plain doorway in the center, one sashed window on the ground floor, and two above. The western side features an added gabled porch at the angle with the wing, a square two-light casement window to the left with a chamfered lintel, and another window beyond an attached yard wall. There are three low windows on the first floor, all 8-pane sashes with lay bars, with the center window having a shallow double-chamfered surround.

On the courtyard side of the wing, there is a plain doorway to the right, a square two-light sashed window to the left, and a blocked window above. The gable wall has a small two-light chamfered mullion window at ground floor and a square 8-pane sashed window above. The south side of the wing features a formerly similar mullioned window at ground floor, now missing the mullion, and four tiers of pigeon holes at the first floor. To the right, the end wall of the main range has a first-floor band and a large chimney stack with a chamfered cap and a small upper stage made of brick. The roof is hipped.

Inside, the farmhouse has been mostly altered but retains a fine panelled parlour with raised bolection-moulded panels above and below a dado rail, a bolection-moulded corniced fireplace and overmantel panel, and matching architraves on the doors. The courtyard on the west side of the house is paved with small cobbles arranged in geometrical patterns.
