Description

ST BREWARD
SX 17 NW
6/190 West Rose Farmhouse and garden
wall to rear
II

Farmhouse and garden wall. Circa early C17, remodelled and probably reduced and
extended in late C19. Stone rubble and granite with ashlar granite dressings.
Rendered on front elevation. Rag slate roof with gable ends and granite parapet
coping with scrolled kneelers. Projecting stone rubble end stacks with ashlar
granite shafts and moulded granite caps.
Plan: original plan uncertain and the amount of reused dressed granite suggests that
the house was originally larger and probably quite prestigious (compare detailing
such as scrolled kneelers with Mansion House, Blisland and Lavethan, Blisland). 2
room and through passage plan, heated by gable end stacks with C19 porch to rear of
passage and stair in projection adjoining porch, to rear of right hand room. Late
C19 extension to rear of left hand room. Slightly set back on gable ends are 2
curtain walls masking single storey service wings each of 1-room plan.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3 window front probably remodelled in early C19 and
windows replaced in late C20. C20 central glazed door flanked by 2 late C20 bow
windows. Above 3 centre hung casement windows in 2-centred arched openings. Curtain
walls masking single storey service wings to right and left of main range with
moulded strings and battlemented parapets. 2 centred arched openings with C20 window
in left hand wing. Rear elevation with C19 porch of ashlar granite and 2-centred
arch to door.
Interior: ground floor partitions removed. C19 stair possibly replacing earlier
turreted stair in projection to rear of right hand room.
Stone rubble and granite garden wall with granite coping encloses large garden to
rear of West Rose Farmhouse.
