Farmhouse, possibly a former longhouse. C17 or earlier; barn and shippon added C18
or early C19. Granite rubble; house-part rendered. Old chimneystacks with granite
thatch-weatherings on right-hand gable and on ridge to left of house-part. House-
part has centre doorway (probably a C19 insertion) leading to passage with stair at
rear; parlour to right, hall to left. To left of hall, but now completely walled
off, is an outbuilding with front door at right-hand side; this was probably the
original front door to house also, although there is no sign of an opposing door in
rear wall. Barn adjoins outbuilding to left, and against the front wall of barn, at
right-angles, is a shippon. 2 storeys. House-part 3 windows wide; C19 casements
with glazing-bars, except for C20 metal window to left of second storey. Shippon
has 2 ventilation slits in front wall and 3 in rear wall.
Interior: Hall has fireplace with granite jambs and chamfered lintel; oven with
stone-framed opening inside, to left. Back to outbuilding is of granite ashlar with
chamfered cornice at the top. Outbuilding has old cobbled floor, but no drain or
other evidence to prove this was a shippon. The present shippon also has old
cobbled floor, this time with central drain. Outbuilding, barn and shippon have C20
roof-timbers.
Owner says that in old deeds the house is called Middle Dunstone.
