Ninnis Farmhouse Including Front Garden Walls

Ninnis Farmhouse, including the front garden walls, is a farmhouse and adjoining former cottage that dates from the 17th century or early 18th century, with remodeling in the 18th century and extensions added around the late 18th or early 19th century. The house features granite rubble on the ground floor, with granite ashlar on the first floor at the front and the upper parts of the gable ends. The cottage is constructed from granite rubble with granite moorstone. The house has granite ashlar chimneys over the gable ends, along with granite kneeler stones and coping stones beneath the slates at the front. There is a tall brick chimney on the rear wall, while the cottage has a tall rubble stack over its front gable end. The roofs are covered with grouted scantle slate.

The original plan consisted of a two-room layout for the house, with a one-room plan house or bakehouse adjoining at right angles to the left-hand corner. At some point in the 18th century, the upper floor of the house was rebuilt with granite ashlar, although this may have been an original feature. Around the late 18th or early 19th century, outshuts were added to the rear of the house to create service rooms, possibly incorporating older walls.

The exterior is two storeys high, with a nearly symmetrical three-window south front that includes a doorway and a window slightly left of the middle. The house features a 20th-century glazed door and 20th-century 16-pane horned sash windows set in 18th-century openings. The front wall of the cottage, located to the right, has a window likely in a former doorway opening, with the present doorway leading into the rear gable end, which is probably a 19th-century alteration.

Inside, the house has granite flagged floors in part of the space, while the cottage has an irregular granite floor and a large fireplace with a granite domed oven. The roof structures date from the 19th century. The garden wall in front of the right side of the house features a 17th-century dressed granite doorway with monolithic granite jambs and a segmental, nearly round-headed arched head, along with square-edged granite copings atop the rubble wall.
