Description

Torleven Farmhouse is likely to date from the late 18th century. It is a granite and rubble farmhouse with a segmental arch detail, covered by an asbestos slate roof and featuring brick end stacks. The building follows a shallow double-depth plan. The front elevation is nearly symmetrical, with three windows per storey. 20th-century windows occupy the original openings, and a central doorway has a 20th-century door. The interior has not been inspected.
