Details
DAVIDSTOW SX 18 NW 1/118 Old Farmhouse at Hendraburnick 17.12.62 II
Ruins of a disused farmhouse. Circa C17. Stone rubble. Roof structure largely removed. Remains of stone rubble end stack on right (south) and axial stack to right of centre. Plan: house derelict and the original plan is uncertain. The house as standing is of 3 room plan, the entrance on the west front through a 2 storey porch with a blocked door which led into a lobby against the axial stack heating the central room. The room to left (north) was heated by an end stack; the partition between the left hand and central room removed. The room to right was heated by a projecting end stack and the weathering on the right hand (south) gable end suggests that the house continued to the right. Mercer described a cross wing here in 1975. Adjoining the left hand (north) side of the porch is a probably integral stair projection, the stair largely gone but appears to have risen from the front lower side of the hall. The space is constricted and it is uncertain whether the stair returned in a dog-leg directly into the chamber above the hall or entered directly into the chamber above the porch. Barn attached on left hand gable end of house, now only ruins remaining. Exterior: 2 storey porch to front right with square headed chamfered granite door frame and 2-light mullion window above. Adjoining stair projection set back on left, lit by 2-light mullion window. Pigeon holes in left hand side wall. Remains of window on ground and first floor of lower end on right and 2 large openings on ground floor and 1 on first to hall and inner room on left. 2 light mullion fire window in rear lights hall fireplace. Interior: Blocked hall fireplace with chamfered granite lintel and jambs. Large unmoulded timber lintel to fireplace in inner room on left. House in considerable state of decay at time of inspection (1986) with most of roof and ceiling beams collapsed. Mercer, E English Vernacular Houses, RCHM 1975.
