Description

Carbaglet is a farmhouse dating from around the 16th century, possibly remodeled in 1712, as indicated by a datestone. It is constructed of stone rubble, granite, and moorstone, topped with a slate roof featuring gable ends. The building has a projecting stone rubble end stack with granite strings on the right and a brick end stack on the left.

The original plan of the house is uncertain, but it consists of an unusual and likely altered two-room layout, with a larger room on the right heated by an end stack. The left-hand room is smaller, with the entrance leading directly into it and a rear door that is offset. The fireplace in the left-hand room may have been added later, as the room was likely originally unheated. There is a 20th-century single-storey extension at the rear, which replaced an earlier outshot.

The exterior features two storeys with an asymmetrical three-window front. There is a lean-to porch on the left and a 20th-century two-light casement window with glazing bars on the right. The first floor has three 20th-century casements with glazing bars, and there is a window with a chamfered granite surround in the right-hand gable end. The datestone "IL 17 12" is located in the right-hand gable end.

Inside, the left-hand room has a fireplace with a roughly cut granite lintel that has drilled holes, suggesting a post-18th-century date. The right-hand room features a possibly chamfered granite lintel and jambs to the fireplace, along with an unusual granite chimney-piece from the 19th century that has corbelled brackets in front. On the first floor, the timber lintel to the fireplace in the right-hand room is chamfered with a pronounced curve leading to an ogee stop.

The roof structure includes several trusses: the first is much altered with a lap-jointed and pegged collar and principals; the second, which is closed, has morticed collars, and the principals are halved, lap-jointed, and pegged at the apex with a diagonal set ridge. The feet of the principals show a pronounced curve and appear to be of jointed-cruck construction, while the purlins may be soot blackened. The third and fourth trusses are roughly halved, lap-jointed, and pegged.
