Sannacott Farmhouse

Sannacott Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century, which was remodelled and enlarged in the mid to late 18th century and further enlarged in the late 19th century. The building is rendered, partly over stone, and features a gable-ended scantle-slate roof, with a hipped scantle-slate roof over the 19th-century block. The 19th-century addition is made of coursed stone rubble with red-brick dressings. There is a 17th-century dressed stone stack to the right with weatherings and an 18th-century stone stack at the rear of the left-hand end, along with 19th-century red-brick ridge stacks on the rear block.

The original 17th-century layout consists of a two-room plan facing south, with a lateral stack at the rear of the left-hand room and an end stack for the right-hand room. In the mid to late 18th century, the farmhouse was remodelled, likely raising the eaves, and service rooms with a loft were added at the right-hand end. A 19th-century addition is located at the rear of the left-hand end. The farmhouse is two storeys high.

The exterior features three windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor of the left-hand end, with 18th-century boxed 16-pane glazing bar sashes (each leaf consisting of four panes across and two up) and a central first-floor 8-pane sash. The 18th-century addition to the right has a first-floor small paned wooden casement to the left, a ground-floor wooden cross window to the left with wrought-iron bars, and a 19th-century half-glazed door with a 4-paned casement to the right, both featuring wooden lintels. The left-hand gable end has a ground-floor 20th-century 16-pane glazing bar sash in a likely 19th-century opening with a segmental brick head and narrow keystone. The left-hand side (west) of the rear wing has three segmental-headed 4-pane sashes on each floor and a 19th-century half-glazed door to the right with a hipped-roofed porch.

Inside, the left-hand ground-floor room has a 17th-century chamfered cross beam with stepped run-out stops and a 19th-century marble chimney-piece at the rear. The kitchen in the 19th-century addition features a brick segmental-arched fireplace with a bread oven. The 18th-century roof over the front range has nailed collar trusses, and the roof over the loft to the right also has nailed collar trusses. The first-floor rooms have not been inspected.
