5/30 Stickwick House and - Farmhouse 23.8.55

- II

House, with farmhouse in left wing. Built 1780-2 for Robert Hole. Stone covered with roughcast. Centre block has slated roof with a brick chimneystack in each gable. Left wing has concrete-tiled roof with chimneystack in rear wall; right wing has asbestos-slated roof. House consists of a tall double-depth centre block with catslide roof over rear part; lower, 1-room-deep wing on either side. 2 storeys, with garret in centre block. The general shape of the house, including the low wings, corresponds to that shown in a drawing of 1836, with relatively little subsequent alteration, except in the right wing. Centre block has a symmetrical front 3 windows wide with raised stucco quoins at either end. Doorway, in centre bay of ground storey, has C20 door and porch; in 1836 there was an open-sided porch with 2 columns in front supporting a triangular pediment. Windows have segmental arches and triple wood sashes, the middle sashes with 6 panes each and the side- sashes with 2 panes. All but the left-hand sash in each storey are C20 replacements. In the roof are 3 hipped dormer windows of 3 lights, the centre lights of 2 panes, the outer lights of 2 smaller panes with a transom-light above; the 1836 drawing, though sketchy on this point, suggests that they may have been altered. The left wing is 3 windows wide, all but the left-hand ground storey window (which is C20) having old 3-light wood casements with 6 panes per light; these could be original, despite the fact that the 1836 drawing shows 2-light casements with 8 panes per light. Centre doorway has wooden hood, possibly original, on shaped brackets. Right wing has been completely re-windowed in C20, though in character with left wing. Ground storey of left wing has its original fireplace; remainder of interiors not inspected. The original building account survives, showing that Robert Hole 'begun to lay the foundation' on 18 May 1780; most of the work was completed by January 1782, but the final bill was not paid until 25 October 1785. Chimneypieces were provided by Mr Robinson of Chudleigh. The parlour and parlour chamber were hung with paper. The roof was slated from the first. Lime ashes were used for the floors. Cost £591-10-8.
