Details
SW 97 NW ST MINVER PORTHILLY LOWLANDS 3/324 Porthilly Greys II House. Possibly late C16 or early C17. Stone rubble, partly rendered and painted. Regular slate roof with gable ends to main range and to west wing. Projecting stone rubble side lateral hall chimney stack with brick shaft on east front of main range. Inner room heated by projecting stone rubble end stack on north with brick shaft. Axial brick stack between hall and inner room heating first floor chamber. Plan altered and house reorientated. House probably comprised a three room and through passage plan (lower end to right), with hall heated by front lateral stack and inner room by gable end stack. The arrangement of the lower end is uncertain. Circa C17 wing at rear of higher end, possibly to contain the stair. In circa late C18 the lower service range beyond the through passage was demolished and the truncated gable end was remodelled. In circa early C19 the inner room was probably partly rebuilt with evidence of a straight joint between the two ranges. Possibly also in the C19 the through passage was blocked, the house reorientated and an entrance was inserted in the north elevation, entering directly into the west wing. This wing was extended to the west in the mid C19. A later stair was added in a lean-to projection in the angle between the inner room and west wing. Two storeys. Original front; two window asymmetrical east elevation with projecting hall stack to right of centre. Ground floor with 4 over 8 pane sash and C19 2 light casement to left of stack; C20 window in original entrance to right of stack. First floor with two early C19 16-pane hornless sashes. North elevation comprises truncated gable end of main range on left, and west wing set back on right with remodelled entrance. The remains of the lower gable end of the demolished service range on left were remodelled in the circa early C19; C19 stepped angle buttresses, 2-light casement on ground floor and C19 casement above with 2-centred arched opening and intersecting glazing bars. Range to right forming front elevation with C20 part glazed door. Interior; largely remodelled in C20. Evidence of position of through passage visible with screen on higher side removed. Blocked hall fireplace. C19 and C20 ceiling beams with two circa C17 chamfered ceiling beams in west wing. Roof timbers replaced in mid to late C19.
