Caervallack Farmhouse And Adjoining Outbuilding At The South East

Caervallack Farmhouse and the adjoining outbuilding are located in St Martin-in-Meneage. This farmhouse dates from the 18th century and was slightly remodeled around the early 19th century. It is constructed of painted rubble and cob, featuring slate sills and wooden lintels. The roof is made of scantle slate and has brick chimneys at the gable ends and a hip at the rear of the service wing.

The building has a T-shaped plan, consisting of two rooms with a cross passage at the front and a one-room service wing that extends at a right angle to the middle of the rear. It was later extended on the left side with single-storey outbuildings and a former lean-to, likely from the 19th century, which was heightened in the 20th century. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a nearly symmetrical three-window east front with a central doorway that features an open 20th-century porch and an old ledged door.

The windows on the first floor are early 19th-century horizontal sliding sashes with small panes, positioned under heightened eaves. The ground floor openings have horned sashes, and there are some old windows on the left-hand (south) wall of the rear wing, along with a blocked window on the first floor of the right-hand (north) gable end.

An outbuilding is attached on the left, which has a wide doorway on the right with a ledged door and a narrow fixed six-light casement on the left. This outbuilding is connected by a garden wall doorway to a single-storey wash house that has a brick chimney over its east gable end. The front of the wash house faces north and includes a nine-pane fixed light and a ledged door towards the right. The interior of the farmhouse has not been inspected. The three-room T-shaped plan is a common feature in 17th and 18th-century houses in Cornwall, and this example remains fairly unaltered.
