OTTERTON OTTERY ROAD, Otterton SY 0885 7/196 Rydon Farmhouse and Rydon - Farmhouse GV II 2 houses occupying a former farmhouse. Probably C16 and C17, a datestone records modernisation of 1707, renovated and divided into 2 houses in 1986. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings, parts rebuilt or extended with C19 and C20 brick; mostly stone rubble stacks topped with brick; thatch roof. Since an internal inspection was not possible at the time of the survey it is difficult to assess the layout and development of the house. The main block faces south-east onto Ottery Road with rear blocks projecting at right angles from each end. The oldest part is the main block and it has a 3-room-and-through-passage plan house. However it seems there are 2 service rooms left (south-west) of the passage with an axial stack between and the hall is at the right end with a projecting front lateral stack and a parlour block projects at right angles to rear. Rydon Farmhouse occupies the rear parlour end block, hall, passage and first service end room. Rydon Cottage occupies the second service and room of the main block and the C19 and C20 brick 2-room plan rear block at right angles behind. 2 storeys throughout. Irregular 4-window front of C19 and C20 casements mostly with glazing bars. The oldest are those in the right end bay which contain rectangular panes of leaded glass and there is another similar in the rear block. The front passage doorway (to Rydon Farmhouse) is right of centre and contains a C20 plank door with contemporary monopitch thatch hood. Immediately to right is the hall stack. It is built of the local brown-coloured conglomerate sandstone with large dressed quoins and limestone ashlar plinth. The lowest course of the original limestone chimney shaft remains, the rest rebuilt in brick in 1707 according to a limestone date plaque set in it which also includes the initials ECL. The main block roof is hipped to right and gable-ended to left. The left end wall is rebuilt in late C19 brick. The doorway to Rydon Cottage is in the rear block and dates from 1986 as do the windows there. Interior. Only Rydon Cottage was available for inspection at the time of survey. The rear block had been extended and rearranged and all visible features here date from 1986. The second service end room of the main block has a roughly finished crossbeam of indeterminate date and a C19 brick fireplace. The roof was inaccessible but the lower part of a side-pegged jointed cruck roof truss shows suggesting that C16 or C17 roof also survives over Rydon Farmhouse. The farmhouse is also said to contain C16 or C17 carpentry detail.
