Diggaport House

Diggaport House is a house that was originally a farmhouse, dating from around the mid-17th century, with later additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features local stone rubble walls with some granite dressings and has a gable-ended slate roof. It has three rubble stacks: one at the right-hand gable end, one axial stack, and one at the gable end of the wing.

The original layout likely consisted of two rooms with a possible central passage. The right-hand room was heated by a gable end stack, while the left-hand room was heated by an axial stack. In the late 17th century, a one-room wing was added in front of the left-hand room, which was also heated by a gable end stack. During the 19th century, a large dairy was constructed at the left end of the original house, and some internal alterations were made when the house was modernized in the 20th century.

The house is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical two-window front, with the wing projecting from the left end, which also has two windows. The right-hand range features 19th-century two-light small-panel casements and a 20th-century panelled door to the left. The wing has 20th-century one- and two-light small-paned casements, with dormer windows on the first floor. Attached to the end of the wing is a long mid-19th century shippon, which has a 20th-century glazed door to the right and a wide doorway to the left, featuring a dressed granite segmental arch, along with a loading hatch above and ventilation slits.

Inside, three 17th-century fireplaces remain, each with different designs. The fireplace in the right-hand room has a chamfered wooden lintel, likely with hollow step stops. The fireplace in the central room is more elaborate, featuring an ovolo-moulded wooden lintel and roll-moulded granite jambs. The fireplace in the wing is framed in granite and is roughly chamfered. The roof trusses consist of straight principals and are relatively recent.
