Penpoll House

Penpoll House is a house built around the 1840s, constructed from stone rubble with a stuccoed front. It features a hipped rag slate roof with deep eaves and rendered stacks over the side walls. The layout is rectangular and double-depth, consisting of two main front rooms and a central entrance hall with a stair hall behind. There is also a small service wing added in the late 19th century at the rear of the right-hand room, along with a 20th-century outshut at the back.

The house has two storeys and a cellar, with a symmetrical three-bay south front. The front includes 19th-century 16-pane sash windows with keystones and cills, a central doorway with a rectangular fanlight and a flush-panelled door, and round-headed lights. A large late 20th-century glazed porch has been added on a flight of steps. The east and west sides have 12 and 16-pane sashes. The rear features a small round-arched stair window with a sash, a small gable-ended wing to the left, and a 20th-century rendered outshut with a porch.

Inside, the house contains 19th-century joinery, including panelled doors, architraves, and an open string staircase with shaped tread-ends, stick balusters, and a moulded mahogany handrail that is wreathed over the curtail. There are moulded plaster ceiling cornices, alcove arches, and elliptical arches in the hall and landing, which have arris mouldings and large acanthus leaf corbel brackets. Some original chimneypieces remain.

Penpoll House was the home of John Marshall, a miller and the owner of Lower Penpoll Mill, located nearby on Penpoll Creek.
