Copper Hill House
II
House. Probably mid to later C19. Killas rubble brought to courses, mostly
rendered and painted white, with granite dressings, scantle slate roof and
chimneys of yellow brick. L-plan formed by main range on east-west axis
with wing on north side. Two storeys; the unrendered symmetrical 3-bay
north facade (to garden) has a plinth and rock-faced quoins, three 4-pane
sashed windows at ground floor and 2 above with a blind window in the
centre, all with rock-faced quoined surrounds and lintels; hipped roof with
projecting eaves and side-wall chimneys. The entrance is in the south-east
angle, covered by a modern flat-roofed porch; the rear wall has one window
at 1st floor, the wing has one at ground floor and 2 above, all 4-pane
sashes. The end wall of the wing has a very large round-headed sashed
stairwindow with intersecting glazing bars (above a flat-roofed extension
which is not of special interest); the 3-bay west side wall has a doorway
in the centre and 4-pane sashed windows on both floors (that to left at 1st
floor segmental-headed). Interior not inspected. History: probably
associated with Wheal Buller copper mine, of which there are remains within
a radius of approx. 200 metres north and west.
