Penhaligan'S Cottage

Penhaligan's Cottage is a small house dating from the 18th century. It features slatestone rubble walls and a wheat reed thatched roof that is hipped to the left, with an external stone stack on the right gable end. The cottage has a two-room plan and stands two storeys tall. The east front is symmetrical with three windows. There is a central 20th-century planked door set in its original opening. The original flanking openings and the first-floor openings on the left and right have oak lintels made from reused ship timber, with randomly spaced treenails. The middle opening on the first floor is from the 20th century. All windows are 20th-century, 12-pane, two-light casements. The large external breast on the right gable includes a projection for a bread oven. The cob rear wall has a small central first-floor window for the stair. The interior has been largely renewed, with a fireplace that is partly blocked and an additional recess near the fireplace in the back wall. There is a raised pavement in front of the house, retained by earth and stone walling.
