Mornick Farmhouse (West) And Barn Adjoining On North West

This is a circa 1820s farmhouse, likely built on an earlier site, with an adjoining barn. The farmhouse is constructed of stone rubble, with large granite quoins. The front and part of the right-hand gable end are slate-hung, and the roof is of rag slate with gable ends. Granite stacks are at the gable ends. The plan is double-depth, with two rooms wide and a wide central cross passage leading to a stairhall. Originally two narrow service rooms were at the rear, functioning as a dairy and containing a small rear staircase (now removed). These rooms formed a passage giving access to the barn on the left-hand gable end. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with a symmetrical three-window front. The ground floor has two 16-pane sashes with horns and original crown glass, with granite cills. A porch with granite columns, tapered with square bases and caps, and slate side walls, stands at the central entrance. The door is a six-panelled design with moulded edges and top lights; above it are three 16-pane sashes with horns. The rear has replaced 20th-century casements with glazing bars. A single-storey stone rubble wing with a slate roof and a rear lateral stack is set into the right-hand gable end. Inside, the two main reception rooms have simple cornices. There is an open string staircase with curved brackets. A reused granite cill from a mullion window is in the cill of a rear window opening. A granite lintel from a mullion window has been reused as a hearth stone in a mid-20th century stone rubble fireplace, and a plain granite lintel is above the fireplace in the kitchen wing’s rear lateral stack. The adjoining barn, likely an earlier farmhouse later converted, is circa 18th century. It's of stone rubble with a lower slate roof with gable ends, featuring dressed stone arches to the ground floor openings – an entrance near the centre and a further opening introduced on the right-hand side. Two three-light openings are above with granite quoins and doveholes beneath the eaves. A door is in the left-hand gable end, covered by a slate hood. The barn's interior has a gutted interior, revealing a 19th century collar rafter roof. The barn was in the process of conversion to holiday accommodation at the time of inspection.
