TALATON TALEWATER SY 09 NE 6/195 Talewater Farmhouse - II -
Farmhouse. Probably C16 origins with C17 improvements with some C19 modernisation. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble or cob stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan: 3-room-and-through-passage plan house facing south and built down a gentle hillslope. Downhill at the right (east) end is the lower end kitchen with a projecting end stack. In the centre is the hall with an axial stack backing onto the passage. At the left (west) end is an inner room parlour with an end stack. A second passage was introduced in the C19 across the upper end of the former hall. Since no internal inspection was available at the time of this survey it was not possible to determine the structural history of the house but it seems likely that it began in the C16 as some form of open hall house, maybe heated by an open hearth fire. The major modernisations took place in the later C16 and C17 and apparently there have been only superficial modernisations since. The house is 2 storeys. Exterior: irregular 4-window front. The central 2 first floor windows are C17 oak- framed 3-light windows with chamfered mullions. The rest are C19 and C20 casements with glazing bars. There are 2 front doorways. Both contain C20 doors. The passage front doorway is the right one and it has a C20 hood. The roof is hipped to right and half-hipped to left. Interior: was not available for inspection at the time of this survey. Nevertheless a great deal of C16 and C17 carpentry detail is suspected and therefore an internal survey (including the roof) should be undertaken before any alterations lest C16 and C17 features be disturbed.
