CHUDLEIGH ROCK ROAD, Chudleigh SX 87 NE 4/77 Palace Farmhouse 12.11.84
GV II
House. Circa late C17 with circa early C18 rebuilding at right end. Whitewashed rendered stone rubble; slate roof, gabled at ends; gable end stacks, axial stack, lateral stack on rear wall. The original plan is not clear. The present main range is single depth, 3 rooms wide, the left hand end on a slightly different axis to the 2 right hand rooms. The left hand ground floor room is of late seventeenth-centry date, heated by the left gable end stack. It would appear that in the early C18 the house was rebuilt at the right end and re-roofed throughout with a symmetrical front elevation to the new work. The new work involved a fairly substantial attic storey used as part of the accommodation and a 2-storey winder stair. Subsequent additions include a front right wing at right angles to the C17 end of the house and a rear right 1 room plan addition with a lean-to roof. 2 storeys. 1 + 2 window front, the right end symmetrical with a C20 gabled porch canopy and 1/2-glazed C19 door with arched lights. 3-light first floor casements, 2 panes per light, 2-light ground floor windows inserted since 1978 (old list description) replacing C18 casements. The front elevation of the left hand part of the house has an additional doorway at the left end and a 2-light casement, 2 panes per light, lighting the stair. Interior Ground floor room left has a chamfered cross beam with runout stops and exposed joists; casement window with deeply-chamfered timber mullions. Some C18 joinery survives in the right hand end of the house. The roof structure is unusual Under a more recent roof there are trusses of large scantling with slightly curved feet resting in the stone walls. At the left end of the house 2 first floor cross beams of uncertain date are suspended from C20 subsidiary trusses erected in the attic. The 1978 list description refers to a "3-light ovolo-moulded timber window with original doorway adjoining, having bead-moulded frame and boarded door, window and doorway linked by Beerstone hoodmould, capped by slates". These features not seen at time of survey (1986). Group value with remains of listed Bishop's Palace.
