4/117 Burnoon - II

Pair of houses. Circa early C18. Grouted stone rubble walls with slate sills and wooden lintels. Scantle slate roof with dressed granite and rubble chimney over each gable end, the right hand chimney rebuilt above ridge level with brick shaft. Plan altered circa late C19-early C20 but probably originally a pair of identical mirror-image houses each with 1 large ground floor hall/kitchen and cross passages and stairs towards the middle. However, it is possible that this was originally a 3- room farmhouse with a small unheated central room; the parlour on the left and the hall/kitchen on the right. Two storeys. Slightly irregular 4 window west front. Four-pane 2-light casements. Ground floor windows left and right slightly wider spaced. Doorways originally towards middle below 2nd and 3rd. 1st floor window openings. Left hand doorway blocked and window inserted to right and other doorway within C20 single storey lean- to. Interior not inspected but said to be structurally not much altered. This is an unusually early example of a planned pair of houses in this part of Cornwall.
