Lake Farmhouse

Lake Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-17th century, with additions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features rendered rubble walls and a gable-ended slate roof, with an axial brick stack. Originally, the farmhouse had a two-room plan with a central passage. The hall and kitchen are located to the left of the passage and are heated by an axial stack, with winder stairs in a projection at the front and an adjoining window bay. To the right of the passage is a small unheated service room. The house was significantly extended at the rear during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical two-window front, where the left side of the house projects. The two windows on the left are later 19th-century four-pane sashes, and above the ground floor window is a granite hoodmould. At an intermediate level to the right, there is a 20th-century single light casement for the stairs. Immediately to the right of the projection is the original granite four-centred chamfered doorway, which has a 20th-century plank door and is sheltered by an open-fronted porch supported by a stone corbel on the left and a side wall on the right. To the right of the porch is an original hollow chamfered granite-framed light. At the left end of the building is a single-storey 19th-century wash-house, along with a later L-shaped addition at the rear from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Inside, a four-centred arched chamfered granite doorway leads from the passage into the left-hand room, which features heavy chamfered cross-beams. The wooden winder stairs are still present at the front of this room. The large granite-framed fireplace has a 20th-century fireplace inserted into it but remains intact. Despite the later additions, the original 17th-century plan of the farmhouse is still evident, with many of its features preserved.
