Description

LEWANNICK POLYPHANT
SX 28 SE
2/67 Steers Villa
II
House. Probably C17 origins, partly remodelled in the circa 1830s. Stone rubble.
Slate roof with gable ends. Stone rubble end stacks.
Plan: Original plan uncertain. The house is of two-room and cross passage plan, the
larger hall kitchen on left heated by an end stack and probably parlour on right.
There is a small projection to the rear of the left hand room which may have been a
dairy or possibly a stair projection. The front wall of the house appears to have
been rebuilt in the circa 1830s.
There are blocked doorways on the ground and first floor which would have connected
Steers Villa with the house to rear. The exact arrangement between these two houses
is uncertain and although it is possible that the house to rear may be earlier than
Steers Villa it has been considerably altered in the C20 and is not included in the
list.
Exterior: Two storeys. Almost symmetrical 3-window front with complete C19 sashes
with original crown glass and dressed stone arches to ground floor openings in centre
and to right. C19 6-panel door with flat hood with 16-pane sash to rightand 16-pane
sash to left in granite surround of 2-light mullion window with hoodmould above.
Three 16-pane sashes on first floor. 2-light mullion window in left hand side and on
first floor of small projection to rear left is a small unglazed 2-light window with
unusual cusped heads constructed of a single piece of Polyphant stone.
Interior: Chamfered granite lintel to fireplace in left hand room. Replaced floor
joists and stair. Fireplace in chamber above left hand room has a chamfered granite
lintel, the run-out stops of which do not correspond with the narrower fine quality
chamfered ashlar Polyphant jambs.
