Tuell Farmhouse

Tuell Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with a wing added around the mid-19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble and has slate roofs that are gabled at the ends. The original 17th-century block features gable end stone stacks, with one stack slightly projecting, while the 19th-century wing has a single depth and a central stair hall. The north block appears to be the hall and inner room of a traditional 17th-century three-room and cross passage house, which originally had the hall stack backing onto the passage. The passage and lower end were dismantled when the 19th-century wing was added at a right angle, creating an L-shaped plan.

The house is two storeys high, with the 17th-century block now entered from the rear. The front elevation is asymmetrical with three windows, featuring a 20th-century glazed garden door on the right. The windows on the ground floor are two- and three-light casements from the 19th and 20th centuries, with the left ground floor window set under a granite lintel. The 19th-century wing has a symmetrical three-bay garden elevation with deep eaves, and the central bay is slightly advanced. A central gabled porch features timber frame decoration in the gable and a chamfered stone doorway with a basket arch. The garden elevation windows are 12-pane sashes with granite lintels and sills, with paired ground floor windows on either side of the porch.

Inside, the 17th-century block has four pegged trusses with threaded purlins. The first-floor room above the parlour retains part of a mid to late 17th-century plaster wall frieze decorated with round-headed arches and enriched with fruit and foliage. The hall fireplace has been modernised, and there is a fixed timber bench on brackets that is likely early 19th century. The parlour contains a fixed cupboard from the late 18th century on the rear wall. The interior of the 19th-century wing retains many high-quality fittings, including cornices, doors with panelled reveals, and chimney pieces (though not all are in their original positions). The central staircase features stick balusters and a ramped handrail.
