Lanyon Farmhouse, Front Garden Walls, Cartshed And Mounting Block

Lanyon Farmhouse, along with its front garden walls, cartshed, and mounting block, dates from around 1800. The farmhouse is constructed from granite ashlar on all sides and features a slurried scantle slate roof with granite ashlar stacks at the gable ends. It has cast-iron ogee gutters. The building has an unaltered double-depth plan, consisting of two rooms at the front flanking a cross passage that leads to a central stair hall, with a back kitchen on the left and a dairy on the right. There is a single-storey service wing at the back, which is said to have once been a chapel. A 17th-century window head or sill has been reused over the doorway.

The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys plus an attic, which is lit by windows in the gables. The symmetrical south front has three windows and a central doorway. It features a plinth, flat keyed arches over the openings, and a mid-floor band. The wide window openings on the left and right originally had tripartite sashes. The front has a 20th-century door and windows, while the rear retains older horned sashes. Inside, the farmhouse has a simple but largely unaltered interior, with a moulded ceiling cornice in the right-hand room, a dog-leg stair with square chamfered newels and stick balusters, and six-panel doors.

The front garden is rectangular, bordered by granite coped dressed granite and rubble walls on each side. A lower wall runs parallel to the front, featuring a central gateway with granite monolithic piers and a 19th-century cast-iron gate. Adjoining the left wall is a cartshed or trap house, and to the right of the garden, there is a dressed granite mounting block.
