7/313 Crasken Farmhouse including - adjoining gate-piers, walls, gate and steps at west entrance to garden and coach house adjoining at east end of house

GV II

Farmhouse, including gate-piers, walls, gate and steps at west entrance to garden. C17 on probably older site, extended in the C18 and C19. Granite rubble with some granite dressings. Grouted scantle slate roofs. Granite rubble stacks over the gable ends of the principal range. Brick chimney over the gable end of the rear wing and another brick chimney serving the rear outshut on the right. Plan: Overall L-shaped plan. Main (original) range has large hall/kitchen on the left (lower) end and fairly large parlour on the right. (There was possibly at some time a small unheated room on the left of parlour, now the entrance hall). Behind the entrance hall is a stair projection with a remodelled C18 stair. This projection is now surrounded by a C19 single-storey lean-to along half of the rear and there is a C18 or early C19 kitchen wing at right angles behind the original hall/kitchen. There is also a C19 lean-to at the left-hand end and a large coach house at the right-hand end. The coachhouse is open to a former stable yard at the rear and is built into the bank at the right-hand end so that its attic loft could be loaded through a doorway from the bank. Exterior: 2 storeys, slightly irregular 4-window south-south-east front with granite lintels over the openings. Blocked doorway left of middle, present doorway is probably former window opening. Windows over the doorways are smaller and have circa early C19 hornless sashes with margin panes. The other windows have tripartite sashes in wide openings which are of similar design in the first floor openings (C20 copy, far left) and those to the ground floor have larger panes. It is likely that the front wall was remodelled in both the C18 and the C19. Old door has glazing to the top panel. Left-hand wall of rear wing has circa early C19 16-pane hornless sash to ground floor and possibly older 16-pane horizontally-sliding sash above. Coach house has open front carried on iron stanchions and its roof is of corrugated iron. Interior: There are large fireplaces in the hall/kitchen parlour and kitchen. The hall/kitchen fireplace opening is spanned by a chamfered reused ship's timber with treenails and there is a large C17 or C18 granite domed oven at either side. Granite parlour fireplace has straight chamfered jambs and lintels. Stair has probably reused C18 turned balusters but circa late C19 newels and handrail. Floors are old and have some wide floorboards. There is one C18 2-panel door, the others are C19. Roof structure is circa late C19. Gate-piers, steps, flanking walls, gate and railings are circa mid-to-late C19. Dressed granite and granite rubble with wrought-iron gate and railings with cast-iron finials. Narrow gateway is flanked by square-on-plan piers and low convex quadrant- on-plan walls linked to higher terminal walls adjoining the farmhouse on the left and the former bailiff's cottage on the right. Gate-piers have monolithic shafts and steep pyramidal caps. Walls have sloping copings. The 3 steps are dressed granite. Gate has scrolled detail.
