Description
Nangitha Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 17th century and was remodeled and extended in the 18th century. It is constructed from granite moorstone rubble with granite dressing and features a dry Delabole slate roof over the main range, while the other range has a grouted scantle slate roof. The building has large rubble stacks, with one located over the gable end of the main range and another over the front gable end of an outbuilding. The farmhouse has an L-shaped plan, with the original range consisting of two rooms separated by an entrance hall and stair hall. The 18th-century range is built at right angles to the original, mostly in front on the left side, and is two rooms deep. There is a 20th-century single-storey lean-to on the left and a 20th-century single-storey addition that partly fills the angle between the two ranges.
The exterior is two storeys high and features a slightly irregular three-window front that is partly obscured by the 20th-century addition. The approximately central doorway, located within the 20th-century addition, has a 19th-century six-panel door with the top four panels later glazed. A ragged joint in the wall on the right suggests that most of the front has been rebuilt, likely in the 18th century. The windows include four-pane horned sashes, and the 18th-century range on the left has a two-window front with 19th-century six-pane horizontally-sliding sashes in the original openings. The rear of the building remains unspoiled.
The interior has been partly inspected and mostly features 19th-century or 20th-century carpentry and joinery. There is one beam from the 17th or 18th century near the main stairs, along with some possibly 18th-century softwood plank and muntin partitions. A sloping piece of plastered masonry is visible within a cupboard to the left of the front doorway, which may be part of an arched door head. The roof structures have not been inspected. Historically, Nangitha was referred to as "Engeyther" in 1508 and "Angither" on the Burghley Map from around 1590.
