Description

Churchtown Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-19th century, situated in Gwinear-Gwithian. It is constructed of granite rubble, with granite dressings. The roof is covered in asbestos slate and features projecting eaves, with rendered brick chimneys on the side walls and over the service wing.

The farmhouse has a roughly L-shaped layout, featuring reception rooms at the front facing the garden, an axial passage and stair hall behind, and another reception room and kitchen in a wing at a right angle behind the left side. A later 19th-century outshut has been added to the rear angle.

The east-facing garden front is symmetrical with three windows, featuring a continuous plinth. The south-facing entrance front is nearly symmetrical with five windows, a doorway in the fourth bay from the left, and blind window openings in the second and right-hand bays. All windows are original 12-pane hornless sash windows. The interior of the farmhouse was not inspected at the time of listing.

Rubble garden walls, coped at the top, run along the south and east sides of the garden. A rubble ogee-on-plan entrance is located on the right side of the south wall, featuring low side walls with dressed granite plinths and copings, and dressed granite monolithic piers with round heads on each face.
