3/16 Old Farmhouse 5m to south east of West Kellow Farmhouse

II Longhouse, now empty and used as a store. Probably C16 with floor inserted in hall and roof timbers replaced in possibly early C18. However, it is possible that the farmhouse was always floored and may date from the C17 and could be a fairly late example of its type. Stone rubble with cob above ground floor. Corrugated iron roof with higher gable end (left) and lower hipped end (right). Projecting stone rubble chimney stack on higher gable end and projecting front lateral stone rubble hall stack. The stack is much overgrown and it is difficult to assess whether this has been added. Comprises hall, inner room, through passage and shippon at lower end. The hall is heated by a front lateral chimney stack and the inner, later parlour, by an end stack. A stone rubble partition divides these 2 rooms up to first floor level. The higher end of the through passage has a stone rubble wall up to first floor level with a stud partition above. At the lower side of the passage a stone rubble wall has been inserted, dividing the passage from the shippon. The shippon has a separate entrance on the front elevation. Later lean-to outshuts at rear of hall. 2 storeys, asymmetrical front much overgrown. Wide hall window to left of hall chimney stack. Morticed doorframe at entrance to through passage. Further entrance to shippon to right with stone rubble wall between, projecting forward, possibly part of an earlier lean-to porch. Slit ventilation opening in shippon to right and another slit opening below eaves. Round corner at front lower end of shippon. Interior Hall with slight chamfered ceiling beams. Ceiling beams to inner room replaced in circa C20. Inner room (parlour) with probably C18 china cupboard. C19 chimney piece to earlier fireplace. Stone rubble partition between hall and inner room with slightly cambered chamfered bressumer. The floor inside the shippon has been possibly raised and covered in litter and therefore if the drain exists it is concealed. There is no sign of a drain outlet hole in the end wall. Straight joints in the lower wall of the shippon may also indicate rebuilding. Roof with 6 trusses above hall and inner room and 4 above shippon. Circa C18 with principals halved and lap-joined and pegged at apex and slight chambered collars lapped and pegged on to the face of the principal. West Kellow Farmhouse represents a rare surviving example in Cornwall of this build- ing type.
