Fennel House

Fenel House is a farmhouse, later converted into a house, dating from the early to mid-19th century, with 20th-century alterations and additions. The building is constructed of slatestone rubble, rendered on the front elevation, with a ripped slate roof featuring ridge tiles and deep eaves. There are stacks to the front rooms, built with rubble shafts, and an axial stack with a rubble shaft heats the kitchen to the rear left, while a dairy to the rear right is unheated.

The house has a large double-depth plan, featuring a larger principal room to the front left and a smaller room to the front right, with the entrance positioned off-centre to the right. The front elevation presents a nearly symmetrical three-window façade. The first floor has three 19th-century 16-pane sashes. The ground floor has a 19th-century 16-pane sash with sidelights to the left and a similar sash to the right. A 19th-century 6-panelled door with an overlight is set within a 20th-century gabled porch, positioned off-centre to the right. The left end of the front is blind. A late 19th-century lean-to addition is at the right end, with a plank door to the left. A 20th-century 2-light 8-pane casement with a cambered stone arch at ground floor and a flat brick arch at the first floor is also at the right. The rear elevation is symmetrical, with three 20th-century 2-light 8-pane casements with flat brick arches on the first floor, and a central 19th-century door with an overlight, a 19th-century 2-light 8-pane casement to the left, and a 2-light 8-pane casement with sidelights to the right on the ground floor. Ground floor openings have flat stone arches.

The interior was not inspected, but may contain original 19th-century features such as a staircase and fireplaces.
