Polventon Farmhouse Including Barn Attached To North

Polventon Farmhouse, now a house, likely dates from the late 17th century and has undergone some alterations, including the addition of a barn to the rear, probably in the 19th century, with few later changes. The building is constructed from slatestone and granite rubble, with some areas slate-hung. It features an asbestos slate roof with gable ends and gable end stacks that have slate weathering and shaped tops. The attached barn has a slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends.

The farmhouse has a two-room plan, with an off-centre entrance to the left leading into a passage. The left room is smaller and heated by a gable end stack, while the right room has a projecting gable end at the front with its own gable end stack. Behind the right room is a small unheated scullery or dairy. The barn is built into the bank at the rear right.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front. To the left, a porch is set at an angle to the front right gable end; it has a pitched roof, a six-pane light at the front, a stone bench inside, and a stable door with strap hinges. There is a three-light casement window to the left at ground floor, and the first floor is partly slate-hung. The right gabled bay has a stack and irregular masonry at the front, possibly indicating an oven. The left end of the farmhouse is blind, with a small single-storey 20th-century addition. The right end features a two-light casement window at both ground and first floor, and a 20th-century two-light casement at the ground floor to the right. There is a straight joint to the barn on the right, which has two ventilation slits at low level and an upper loading door, along with a small single-storey lean-to at the end. On the left side of the barn, there is a ground floor doorway with a timber lintel and granite steps leading to an upper doorway on the left. Between the barn and the main house, there are 20th-century windows at ground and first floor, providing light to the scullery/dairy.

Inside, the front left room features roughly hewn and chamfered beams, while the right room also has chamfered beams. The rest of the house is not accessible.
