ST CLEER TREMAR SX 26 NE 11/95 Lark Cottage - GV II

House. Mid - late C17, with small addition to right of C20, which attaches the house to an earlier stable. Painted stone rubble. Slurried scantle slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends; gable end stack to left with rubble shaft, cornice and shaped top. Plan: This is a rare survival, of a C17 one-room plan house; there was originally a doorway at the left end, to the front of the stack, which was blocked in the C19, and a central front door inserted. This has again been blocked, and the end doorway re- instated. The house has an integral stair tower to the rear of the room. C20 addition to right end, rising to same roof level as the rest of the house. Exterior: 2 storeys, irregular 4-window front, of which the end bay to right is of C20; first floor has three 2-light casements of 6-pane sash, ground floor has four 2- light casements of 8-panes each with timber lintels. Central window of the 3 to left replaces a C19 door. All windows of C20. Attached to right a upper ground floor level, built into the bank, a single storey rubble outhouse. Left end has external stack with curved oven with pitched slate cover to left. C20 door with hood to right. Rear has semi-circular stair tower with roof continuous with the pitch of the main roof, with single narow light to upper right side. C20 casement at first floor to left. The C20 addition to end left is stepped back, with porch at ground floor; rendered. Interior: The room at ground floor has cross beams with narrow chamfers. Gable end fireplace has rubble jambs, flat chamfered timber lintel and cloam oven to rear right. The ground floor room was partitioned in the C19, now removed. Stair tower to rear, has stone newel stair with replaced slate treads. The first floor room has been partitioned. The feet of the principal rafters are visible, resting on the wall tops, and are chamfered. This is a rare survival; it is not a fragment of a formerly larger house, and is part of the early settlement of Tremar village, before the C19 expansion with the mining industry.
