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.
