SW 72 SW ST MARTIN -IN-MENEAGE 4/219 Chenhale Farmhouse -
II
Farmhouse. C17. Shale rubble and cob partly lime washed, slate sills, wooden lintels. Scantle slate roofs, replaced with asbestos slate to front, eaves heightened in the C19, probably formerly thatched. Cast iron ogee gutters. L-shaped plan of 3 rooms to main range plus unheated service wing at right angles at rear of lower end, left, and outbuilding adjoining at the right hand side. The front range probably original 2 rooms with central cross passage with the hall/kitchen at the lower end left. In circa the early C19 the present front window openings were probably cut and the original front wall became the rear. The plan was also altered to create a small service room between the kitchen and the parlour with an axial passage behind. A number of C18 and early C19 farmhouses in Cornwall were built with this plan arrangement. 2 storeys. Irregular 4 window south front with C20 windows. The doorway with 4-panel door later glazed to top panels is off-centre towards the left. Glazed porch with brick plinth walls. The rear is less altered but some of the original window openings are blocked. Central doorway with old ledged door. The gable ended service wing projecting from the right hand side was probably a dairy/pantry with cider loft over approached by external stone steps at the gable end. Interior is little altered since the C19: enormous hearth in the kitchen and one C17 oak ceiling beam survives with straight chanfer and stops. A little altered at the front but the rear elevation has considerable charm and interest.
