Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit was commissioned by The cbe Partnership Ltd on behalf of the Port Eliot Estate to carry out a watching brief and historic building record in advance of re-plastering and alterations to the interior of Molenick Farmhouse. The work was undertaken to fulfil condition 5 of the Listed Building Consent (PA16/08015). The house is a Grade I Listed Building located in the parish of St Germans, approximately 1.7km to the north-west of Tideford at NGR SX3348 6118 . Molenick Farmhouse is described in the Listed Building description as 'one of the finest farmhouses within Cornwall'. From the 13th century to the 18th century it was the seat of the Scawen family and the last member of the Scawen family to live there died in 1712. In about 1780 Molenick was bought by the Eliot family and has been in their ownership ever since. The earliest surviving elements of the present house appear to date to the early 16th century. A total of nine major construction phases have been identified as a result of the recording work. The earliest depiction of the house is an estate plan of c1720 (Fig 3) which shows that it was once E-shaped in plan. The only part of the E-shaped house that remains standing today is the Great Hall range and part of the north and north-east cross ranges which formed the central part of the E-shaped house. These ranges have been dated stylistically to the 16th century (phases 1 and 2).
