Gweal Booth (North Of Gweal Drogoe)

Gweal Booth is a small house, originally used as a carpenter's shop, located north of Gweal Drogoe in Germoe. It dates from the 18th century and was extended around the mid-19th century. The building features granite rubble walls and wooden lintels, topped by a steep corrugated iron roof, which was formerly thatched. The outbuilding has a slurried scantle slate roof with taller eaves and gable ends, and there is a brick chimney over the party wall.

The layout consists of two rooms with a cross passage originally between them: a parlour on the left with a small fireplace, and a hall/kitchen on the right with a large fireplace. The building was extended to include a two-storey room on the left and a single-storey room in the 19th century. The south front is slightly irregular with two windows; the smaller first-floor windows are closer together, and there may be a blocked window opening between them. The original openings have been fitted with 20th-century doors and windows, and there is a small buttress on the left side of the house.

The outbuilding has a central doorway, a window to the left, and a small window to the right, with a loading doorway positioned to the right of the middle. Inside, the structure is virtually complete, although partitions and stairs have been removed. The original fireplaces remain, featuring a large oak lintel over the kitchen fireplace. The interior also includes 18th-century bowtell moulded ceiling beams and an original oak roof structure with lapped and pegged collars, halved and pegged apices, and the original battens that once held the thatch.
