Bucktor Farmhouse

Bucktor Farmhouse is a granite and slate farmhouse, originally dating to the early 16th century, with a later 16th/early 17th century cross wing and subsequent alterations in the mid-19th and 20th centuries. The exterior is built of granite and slate rubble with granite dressings and ashlar, topped with a scantle slate roof featuring a hipped lower right end and a gabled left end, along with clay ridge tiles—some original crested tiles remain. Prominent granite ashlar stacks are positioned on the front and ends of the building.

The interior, though uninspected, appears to follow a three-room plan with a through passage, and the lower right-hand room was originally heated by an end stack. The hall features a large front lateral stack with a second shaft rising from the eaves, suggesting an earlier smoking chamber, and it may have previously served as a kitchen. The upper left end was extended in the 17th century with a cross wing that projects to the front, featuring its own lateral stack. A rear stair tower, accessible from the hall, is accompanied by single-story outshuts to the left and right, likely dating to the 18th or 19th century. A 20th-century lean-to exists at the upper left side of the cross wing, and a 20th-century porch fronts the passage.

The symmetrical, five-window façade includes a 20th-century porch with a pitched roof, a 2-light 19th-century casement above it, and a 3-light casement on the ground floor of the lower section. A small 2-light casement is set within what was a former 4-centred arched granite window opening, displaying hollow-chamfered jambs, recessed spandrels, a re-used chamfered sill, and a re-fronted wall. The cross wing to the left shows a gable end with 20th-century casements on both ground and first floors and a chamfered wall. Another 2-light granite casement with 2-centred arched heads and a removed mullion is found on the first floor of the main range. The rear of the property and its interior remain uninspected, though the original roof structure is likely to be present.
