Cascadden Farmhouse

Cascadden Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, which was remodeled around the early 18th century and again in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from granite and elvan rubble, featuring granite lintels and slate sills. The roof is made of asbestos slate and has brick chimneys at the gable ends.

Originally, the farmhouse likely had a three-room through passage plan but was remodeled in the early 18th century into two small houses. The left-hand house (to the south) was later converted into a farm building and reduced to a single storey in the 20th century. The right-hand part, which was originally the upper end, including the hall and inner room, was remodeled in the early 18th century into a two-room house with a central passage and a narrow service room under an outshut at the rear of the larger room on the right. A new central stair, along with new floors and roof, was added in the 19th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and features a nearly symmetrical three-window east front, with all openings grouped towards the left. The doorway has a ledged door with an inserted light and rises higher than the flanking window openings. The window openings are square and very small, fitted with late 19th-century six-pane horned sashes, except for a four-pane horned sash above the doorway. There is evidence of a ragged joint to the left and right where the rebuilt front from the early 18th century joins the older walling.

Inside, the interior is simple, featuring 19th-century carpentry and joinery, except for an 18th-century two-panel door with fielded panels to the left of the passage, which is linked to an 18th-century pine muntin and plank partition. A large chimney breast in the right-hand room is likely from the 17th century. The roof structure has not been inspected but is said to retain rough rounded trusses.
