Week Farmhouse

Week Farmhouse is a farmhouse that underwent remodelling and extension in the mid to late 19th century, incorporating some original elements from a 17th-century house. It features local stone rubble walls with granite quoins and dressings, topped with a gable-ended slate roof. The building has three stacks: a brick shaft on a rubble base at the left gable end, an axial brick shaft on an older stone base with granite drip-stones offset from the ridge, and a 19th-century lateral rubble stack with a brick shaft at the rear.

Originally, the farmhouse likely had a three-room and through-passage plan with the lower end to the right. The axial hall stack backs onto the passage, and it is unclear whether the lower and inner rooms were originally heated or if their fireplaces were added during the 19th-century remodelling, which also included a re-fronting and the addition of a rear wing behind the inner room at the left end. The farmhouse is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window front. The first-floor windows are small gables containing three-light 19th-century casements, while the two ground-floor windows are two-light horned windows from the mid to late 19th century. To the right of centre is a 19th-century plank door set in an ovolo-moulded 19th-century wooden doorframe.

At the rear, there is a wing at the right-hand end. Inside, the hall features a large 17th-century granite-framed fireplace that has had a later fireplace inserted into it, along with chamfered cross beams. The farmhouse has seen little alteration since the 19th century, preserving its unspoilt exterior and forming part of a traditional farm complex.
