Between the 2 rooms there is an entrance passage leading to a dog-leg staircase at the back in the integral outshut. The outshut also contains the kitchen with a side stack behind the right hand room and a smaller dairy or pantry behind the left hand room. In the C20 a single storey extension was added to the rear right behind the kitchen. Exterior: 2 storeys. Almost symmetrical 3-window front. Original C19 Gothick 2- light casements with 2-centred arch lights each with 6-panes per light and intersecting glazing bars in their heads. Granite window cills. Doorway to left of centre with original C19 flush panel door with painted arch top light ; the head of the doorframe is also arched forming spandrel lights on unusual feature.

Gilbert in his survey of Cornwall describes the since demolished mansion Carwythenack as "lately much improved and the plantation, walks and waterfalls considerably enlarged and beautified". Carwythenack farmhouse was probably built as part of these improvements. Carwythenack was formerly in Constantine parish before the parish boundaries were changed.
