Description

Chy Vean is a small house built around the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of painted granite rubble with granite dressings and features a grouted scantle slate roof. A brick chimney is located over the left-hand gable end, with an adjoining party wall on the right. The house has a cast-iron ogee-section gutter.

The layout likely consists of one and a half or two rooms deep, with two rooms at the front. The room on the left is probably a kitchen or living room, while the room on the right serves as a parlour. A lobby leads to the stair between these two rooms.

The exterior is two storeys high and nearly symmetrical, featuring a two-window front with an approximately central doorway. The entrance has an old four-panel door, and there are late 19th-century four-pane horned sash windows, which are original to the building. The interior has not been inspected.
