Description

MARAZION LEYS LANE, Marazion
SW 5230-5330

5/112 No. 1
-
GV II

Pair of small houses. Circa early C19. Roughly-coursed granite and elvan rubble
with dressed granite quoins, jambstones and lintels, slate sills. Asbestos slate
roof with gable end left and adjoining taller house, right. Brick axial chimney over
the cross party wall.
Plan: each house is similar but mirror-image plan of the other with kitchen/living
room on 1 side and smaller room presumably a pantry on the other and with a lobby
entrance between. Possibly a shallow room or the stair behind each pantry. The
living rooms are each side of a shared stack.
Exterior : 2 storeys. Overall 4 window east front. Each house has a slightly
asymmetrical 2 window front with an off-centre doorway a large window on the wider
side and a small window on the narrower (pantry) side. C20 door, original windows
with 16-pane hornless sashes in the principal openings.
lfnteriors not inspected.
This pair of houses is an unusual plan type. Presumably because of the shallow-depth
plot, the service rooms are sited to each side rather than at the rear.
