Carn Vean Farmhouse Adjoining Outbuilding And Front Garden Walls

This is a circa early 18th-century farmhouse with an adjoining outbuilding dating from the early to mid-19th century. The farmhouse is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings, and the front is painted render. It has a gabled Delabole slate roof with large granite ashlar stacks to the gable ends. The roof continues to the right, with a hipped return to a gable-ended outbuilding set at right angles. The original house had a two-room plan with a central cross passage, and later lean-tos were added to the rear; the right-hand lean-to features a half-round-on-plan rubble stack. The overall arrangement forms an L-shape. The front of the farmhouse is symmetrical, with three windows and a central doorway containing a split ledged door. There are four-pane horned sash windows in the original openings, with the first-floor windows being smaller. The interior retains slurried rubble garden walls at the front, which enclose a slightly irregular, shallow rectangular garden. A round-headed dressed granite monolith gate pier marks the gateway, placed slightly left of centre.
