Details
OTTERTON OTTERY ROAD, Otterton SY 0885 7/194 The Barn 11.ll.52 GV II House, formerly a farmhouse. Probably C16 origins, refurbished in C17, cider house added in C18, modernised in mid C20. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings, some English bond brick in the cider house; stone rubble stacks, one with C17 stone chimney shaft, another topped with C20 brick and another disused; thatch roof. 3-room-and-through-passage plan house facing south-east onto Ottery Road with the inner room at the right (north-eastern) end. The inner room has a disused end stack, the hall has a large projecting front lateral stack and the large service end room has a rear lateral stack. Newel stair turret projecting to rear at upper end of the hall. Service wing (former cider house) projecting at right angles to rear of the left end with a carriageway through next to the house. 2 storeys. Irregular 4-window front of late C19 and C20 casements with glazing bars. The front passage doorway is roughly central and contains a C20 plank door with a window. The hall stack to right of the door is built of brown-coloured local conglomerate sandstone with larger roughly dressed quoins, Beerstone ashlar chamfered plinth and weathered offsets. At the top is the original C17 stone double chimney shaft with Beerstone quoins and soffit-moulded coping. Eaves rise to a gable behind this stack. Roof is half-hipped each end. The rear left corner is rounded into the carriageway. Interior shows mostly the result of C20 modernisation but the original plan is preserved and early carpentry probably survives in the crosswalls. In the service end room no beams are exposed. The fireplace is probably C17; it is stone rubble with a soffit-chamfered oak lintel. The hall fireplace has been much rebuilt in C20 in brick with a new timber lintel. The right side, however, is original Beerstone with a knife-sharpening depression. Since the stack has a double shaft a first floor fireplace is suspected and therefore it probably dates from the early or mid C17 when the hall was floored over. The hall crossbeam is early or mid C17; it is soffit-chamfered with double bar-scroll stops. No other early features are exposed and the roof was completely replaced in the mid C20. The cider house includes plain carpentry detail and a roof of C18 A-frame trusses with spiked lap-jointed collars and X-apexes.
