Fentrigan Farmhouse

Fentrigan Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely has origins from the 17th century and was remodeled in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of stone rubble and features a rag slate roof with gable ends. There is a stone rubble axial stack located to the left of center and an end stack on the right.

The original layout of the house is uncertain, but it was probably larger before being reduced to a two-room plan with a cross or through passage, heated by end stacks. In the later 19th century, it was further extended with a one-room plan range on the left, which is heated by a fireplace served by the originally end stack on the left. The right-hand end appears to have been truncated, with 19th-century outbuildings now adjoining it. There is a service outshut at the rear, which has been partly rebuilt in the 20th century. The owner recalls additional buildings that formed a courtyard in front of the house.

The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys high and features an asymmetrical one-to-three window front. The ground floor openings have dressed unmoulded granite lintels, while the first floor has brick segmental arches. The earlier range on the right has an almost symmetrical front, with a 20th-century door flanked by a 20th-century PVC window to the left and a 20th-century two-light casement to the right. On the first floor, there are three four-pane sash windows. The extension on the left has a 20th-century door on the ground floor and a 20th-century PVC window above.

The interior of the farmhouse has only had the left-hand room inspected. The owner reports that the ceiling beams and roof timbers have been replaced, and the fireplaces have been covered over.

Historically, the manor of Fentrigan belonged to Tywardreath priory before 1540 when it was annexed to the Duchy. It has been in the possession of the Grigg family since the 17th century. Hearth tax returns from 1664 indicate that John Grigg had five hearths, one of which had fallen down and one that was "stopt up."
