Description


LEWANNICK
SX 27 NE
4/8 Hollyvagg Farmhouse
GV II
Farmhouse. Circa mid C17 extended in C18. Stone rubble with granite quoins, partly
slate hung with rag slates above ground floor. Slate roof with gable ends. Stone
rubble end stacks and rear lateral kitchen stack.
Plan: Original plan of two room and cross passage arrangement; the larger hall-
kitchen on right heated by end stack and the smaller parlour on left which may have
originally been unheated. The cross passage is fairly wide and there was probably a
dog-leg stair to rear. In the circa mid C18 the house was extended across the rear
with a kitchen to rear right heated by a rear lateral stack; a back stair to rear of
the passage and a dairy to rear of the parlour. The eaves appear to have been raised
about the same time the outshut was added. There is a pump room in a small outshut
on the rigt hand end and a small outshut on the left hand end.
Exterior: Two storeys. Slate hung above the ground floor. Almost symmetrical 3-
window front with the windows disposed to the left. C19 6-panel door with C17
chamfered and ogee stopped timber lintel. Porch originally open-fronted, the slate
roof supported by roughly cut granite piers; partly remodelled in C20. To left and
right C19 tripartite sash windows. Three probably C19 four over eight-pane sashes on
first floor.
Interior: C17 chamfered wany floor joists with straight cut stops in cross passage
and hall-kitchen on right. The stops indicate that the partitions flanking the wide
passage are insitu and that there was a stair to the rear; the existing stair was
originally a dog-leg which has been modified to form an imperial stair. The
balustrade to the lower flight has thick circa C18 stick balusters and a thin rail.
The hall-kitchen is heated by a large fireplace, projecting into the room; dressed
granite quoins and jambs with a chamfered and ogee-stopped lintel. Putative smoking
chamber to right. The parlour has unmoulded wany joists, probably originally covered
by a plaster ceiling. The fireplace has a curved pentan (back) and a roughly cut
lintel. Circa C17 3 plank door with strap hinges leading from original hall-kitchen
into kitchen. Slight chamfered joists in kitchen. Complete dairy with slate
shelves.
Roof structure replaced when the eaves were raised, (not inspected).
