MAWGAN-IN-PYDAR SW 86 NE 1/95 Higher Denzell Farmhouse - II

Farmhouse. Mid - late C19 with some C20 alterations and additions. Slatestone rubble with stone dressings. Slate roofs with ridge tiles and gable ends. Gable end stack to left. Plan: The farmhouse is an unusual asymmetrical building; there is a 2-storey block to left, and a 3-storey block to right, like a tower, with a 2-span roof with a stack at each end with brick shafts. At the right end there is a single storey wing, probably for service, originally heated from a rear lateral stack. C20 single storey addition to front left. An idiosyncratic Gothic design. Exterior: The 2-storey block to left has a single storey C20 addition to front; at first floor level there is a structure like a midstrey, with open pointed arches at the side and hipped roof, C20 3-light window inside. 2-light window to right and left, with rusticated rubble pointed arch over. Buttress to right and left with pierced pointed arch in the buttress to left. 2-light casement at ground floor to right. To right is the 3-storey block; this has a small casement at ground floor, 3- light casement at first floor with 4-centred rubble arch and triple lancet at second floor, the central light taller. The single storey block to end right has 3-light window with segmental arch at ground floor; loft over with 2 tall gabled dormers, each with casements. The gable end to right has a loading door with segmental arch. At the rear there is random fenestration; the stack behind the single storey block has been truncated. Interior: Not accessible.
