Lower Goodameavy Farmhouse

Lower Goodameavy Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that may incorporate some earlier materials and has undergone significant alterations in the late 20th century. The building features granite rubble walls, which are partially rendered, and includes large granite blocks in the former shippon. The roof is gable-ended and covered with asbestos slate. At the rear, there is a large stone rubble lateral stack, which has likely been rebuilt in the 19th century, along with a rendered axial stack and a brick shaft to the right of the right-hand room.

The farmhouse has an L-shaped plan, with a long shippon that has recently been converted into accommodation, running downhill at right angles to the main house. The main house likely originally had a two or three-room-and-through-passage layout. It is possible that the shippon is a remnant of an earlier longhouse, with the house part replaced in the 17th century by the current structure, which runs at right angles from the higher end. This later section consists of two larger rooms at either end; the left-hand room is heated by the rear lateral stack, while the right-hand room was originally unheated. There is also a small heated room at the center, with stairs in a projection at the front. The proportions of the two right-hand rooms may have been altered in the 20th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys tall with an asymmetrical one-window front, where the long shippon projects at the front of the right-hand end. Late 20th-century casements are present, with two lights on the first floor and three lights on the ground floor, featuring small panes. The entrance is located in the left-hand gable end under a lean-to porch. The former shippon has a window to the left of center, and at the lower end, there are three granite slits, one of which is on the first floor. This end also displays some massive rough granite grounders and quoins. The interior does not show any visible early features.
