Details
BUCKLAND-IN-THE-MOOR SX 77 SW 6/43 Ruddycleave Farmhouse 23.8.55 GV II
Longhouse. C16 altered circa 1760 and again in early C19. Granite rubble. Hipped thatched roof; porch and lean-to in front slated. Old granite chimneys on ridge at either side of porch. Plan has through-passage with 2 rooms to left; kitchen and former shippon to right. Documentary evidence suggests the kitchen was formed out of part of the shippon; there are, however, sharp differences in floor-levels at this end of the building. Both hall and kitchen fireplaces back on to the through- passage. 2 storeys with added single-storey lean-to in front. House-part is 3 windows wide; C19 casements with glazing-bars. Panel of slate-hanging between upper and ground-storey windows in middle bay. Porch is gabled with segmental arch of brick to the doorway C20 dormer window in roof of shippon. Interior (ground storey only inspected) has few early features visible, although others are almost certainly concealed under plaster. Documentary evidence suggests the upper-floor beam in hall was not inserted until circa 1760. Source. Information from Miss E Gawne, based on church accounts. Ruddycleave, or Reddicliff, farm is believed to have been given to the church in 1566 and to have been owned by them until at least C19 (White's Director of Devonshire, 1850, p.431).
