Description

Roselath Old Farmhouse is probably a mid-17th century abandoned farmhouse. It is constructed of granite rubble with large granite quoins, and has a corrugated iron roof with gable ends. A granite ashlar stack is visible at the left gable end, and a front lateral stack is on the right. The building was originally a 2-room plan with a through passage; the room to the left was formerly the kitchen and is heated by the gable end stack, while the room to the right is heated by the front lateral stack. The location of the staircase is unclear, and the rear door of the through passage is blocked.

The ground floor passage doorway has a timber lintel, likely from the 19th century. A blocked window is set into a chamfered granite surround on the left side, and there are three window openings under the eaves. To the right, the external stack is capped at eaves level, with windows at ground and first floor level, featuring granite jambs. The left gable end has an external granite ashlar stack displaying weathering, a cornice, and a shaped top. A section of the right end wall has been partially demolished to create a cart entry, with a loading door positioned above. The rear wall has been partly rebuilt in 20th-century blockwork. There is a blocked door opening at ground floor level to the right, which was likely inserted after the 17th century; a blocked rear passage doorway; and a blocked ground floor window to the left.

Originally, the upper floor was removed, and the interior was formerly ceiled below the collars. The roof features an 8-bay structure of which 3 trusses survive, with straight chamfered principal rafters, morticed and pegged at the apices, with cambered and chamfered collars halved and pegged to the faces of the principals. Two rows of through purlins rest on the backs of the principals. Some plaster remains on the walls. The left-hand room contains a gable end fireplace with granite cambered voussoirs, a blocked rear door, and a keeping hole in the rear wall at first floor level. The room to the right has a front lateral fireplace with a heavy, flat, chamfered lintel and chamfered jambs. The bay to the front right appears to have been rebuilt and extended forward. The house was likely abandoned around 1900, coinciding with the construction of the new farmhouse.
