Frythens Farmhouse And Adjoining Outbuildings

Frythens Farmhouse and adjoining outbuildings is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, with some alterations from the late 19th century. It is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings. The roof is steeply pitched, covered in scantle slate, with projecting eaves, terminal moulded kneelers at the front, and tall brick chimneys on the gable ends. Cast-iron ogee gutters run along the roofline.

The farmhouse has a double-depth plan, with two rooms at the front – the wider room likely serving as a kitchen or living room, located to the left. These rooms are flanked by a cross passage leading to a staircase, which is located between service rooms in an integral two-storey outshut. A later 19th-century service range includes a piggery set at a right angle behind the right-hand side of the farmhouse, and a small, rectangular earth closet attached to the front right-hand corner.

The west front has three windows, arranged in a nearly symmetrical facade. A central doorway is flanked by the windows. The doorway has a circa-late 19th-century 6-panel door, with four glazed panels at the top. Horned sash windows (paired sashes to the wider ground floor openings) are also from the late 19th century. The interior has not been inspected. This building has group value as a well-preserved example of a Cornish farmhouse.
