Chynoweth Farmhouse

Chynoweth Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1700, with additions from the early 19th century and alterations in the 20th century. It is constructed of painted stone rubble and cob, topped with an asbestos slate roof featuring ridge tiles and gable ends. The building has gable end stacks and an axial stack with brick shafts.

Originally, the farmhouse had a two-room plan with a central cross passage. Each room was heated by a gable end stack, and there is an integral unheated outshut along the entire rear, which contains two small rooms and a central stair. An early 19th-century one-room plan addition was made at the right end, also heated by a gable end stack and featuring an integral unheated outshut at the rear, used as a dairy. A 20th-century addition is located at the rear center.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front. The original three windows are on the left, with a central 20th-century door. There are 20th-century two-light, eight-pane casements on the right and left at both the ground and first floors, along with a central 20th-century twelve-pane window on the first floor. The left and right ends of the building are blind. At the rear, the dairy on the left has a two-light ventilator window with diagonal wooden slats at ground floor and a 20th-century two-light casement at first floor. To the right, there are two 20th-century casements at ground floor and another 20th-century two-light casement to the right; to the left, there is a 19th-century sixteen-pane sash window lighting the stair. A single-storey 20th-century addition is located at the center of the rear.

Inside, there are three rooms on the ground floor at the front, each with fireplaces that were rebuilt in the 20th century. The end right room retains a cloam oven. The central room features a corner cupboard from around 1700, which is a notable example with panelled doors, guilloche carving, scratch moulding, carved stylised flowers, and butterfly hinges.
