Landwarnick

The property is a farmhouse dating to approximately the early 17th century, with a later 17th-century rear wing and subsequent remodelling. It is constructed of painted and partly rendered stone rubble, with a scantle slate roof and stone chimney stacks. A large gable end stack is present at the higher end, featuring set-offs and a brick chimney shaft. A lower range is set at right angles, with gable end stacks, a cloam oven projection to the rear kitchen wing, and an asymmetrically placed stack in the front gable end. The original layout is uncertain, with straight joints covered and the roof structure sealed. The farmhouse likely began as a 2-room plan with a through passage, the higher end heated by a gable end stack, and the lower end by a front lateral stack. A kitchen wing was added to the rear, creating an L-shaped plan. Further remodelling in the 19th century included the creation of a wide entrance hall, the retention of the through passage, and the addition of a 19th-century staircase. A thick stone wall on the passage side of the lower room suggests further alterations. An outshut was added to the rear, connecting the main range and the rear kitchen wing. The front facade presents an asymmetrical 2-window appearance. A plank door is set within a partly rendered and glazed porch. A 19th-century 4-light casement window with glazing bars sits below the eaves, possibly in the location of an earlier mullion window. Above, there are late 19th-century 2-light and 3-light casement windows. The remodelled rear wing has gabled ends and a regular 2-window front with 19th-century 16-pane sash windows. The interior retains its largely unaltered 19th-century character, with complete joinery. A 20th-century chimney piece is present in the fireplace at the higher end. The rear kitchen wing features heavy, slightly chamfered ceiling beams. The first floor was not inspected, and the roof structure is concealed by plaster ceilings. The property is associated with the Domesday manor of Lanwarnick and represents a notable example of its type, with an unspoilt 19th-century interior.
