Description

ST CLETHER SX 18 SE 3/180 Woolgarden Farmhouse - II

Farmhouse. Probably early C17 origins partly altered in the late C19. Rendered stone rubble, partly slate hung above ground floor on front right. Rag slate roof with gable ends and lower slate roof with gable end on right. Brick shaft to rear lateral stack on left, projecting stone rubble front lateral stack and stone rubble and brick shaft to end stack on right. Plan: The original plan of the house is uncertain and the house was divided into two in the C19 with the main farmhouse on left and cottage on right, reverting back to a single dwelling in the C20. Together the house and cottage have a 3-room plan with cross passage to left of central room and originally through passage to right of central room. The house comprises the left hand room, heated by a rear lateral stack, the existing entrance and cross passage and the large central room (probably originally the hall) which is heated by a large front lateral stack. The cottage on right contains a through passage on left (the front entrance now blocked) and the right hand room which is heated by an end stack. There is a straight joint between the house and cottage on the front elevation and a corresponding thick cross wall inside. The evidence for a straight joint on the rear is less obvious. Exterior: Two storeys. Asymmetrical 4:2 window front with higher roof to left hand range and right hand range, which is slate hung above ground floor, set slightly back. To left, the main farmhouse has a circa C17 4-centred ovolo-moulded granite arch with C19 door flanked by 2 P.V.C. windows to left and large projecting front lateral stack and 2 P.V.C. window to right. Four P.V.C. windows on first floor. Set back to right, rounded hollow-chamfered granite arch which has been partly blocked with a window inserted and 16- pane horned sash toright with two 4-pane sashes on first floor. Interior: Ceiling beams replaced incirca late c19. C20 grate to hall fireplace and Rayburn stove blocking left hand fireplace. First floor and roof structure not inspected.
