MEAVY SX 56 SW 8/98 Lower Goodameavy Farmhouse 19.10.83
GV II
Farmhouse. C17 possibly with some earlier fabric, considerably altered in later C20. Granite rubble walls, partially rendered, with some large granite blocks incorporated in the former shippon. Gable ended asbestos slate roof. Large stone rubble lateral stack at rear, the shaft of which has probably been rebuilt in C19. Rendered, probably stone rubble, axial stack and brick shaft at right of right-hand room. At present the building has an L-shaped plan with a long shippon - very recently converted to accommodation - running downhill at right angles to the main house which originally probably had a 2 or 3 room-and-through-passage plan. It is possible that the shippon represents the remnant of an earlier longhouse, the house part of which was replaced in the C17 by another structure (the present house) running at right angles from the higher end. This later section now consists of 2 larger rooms at either end - the left-hand one heated by the rear lateral stack, the right-hand one originally unheated - with a small heated room at the centre and the stairs in a projection to the front of it. The proportions of these 2 right-hand rooms may have been altered in the C20. The shippon has now been converted to accommodation and incorporates the stair projection at its higher end. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 1 window front with long shippon, projecting to front of right-hand end. Late C20 casements, 2-light on the 1st floor 3-light on the ground floor, with small panes. Entry in left-hand gable end under lean-to porch. The former shippon has window to left of centre. At the lower end are 3 granite formed slits, 1 are the 1st floor. At this end also are some massive rough granite grounders and quoins. Interior has no early features visible.
