CLYST HYDON ST 00 SW 2/3 Hoop Farmhouse including linhay - adjoining to north - II

Farmhouse. Early C16 with major later C16 and C17 improvements, some C19 modernisation, part renovated circa 1980. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan and development: long 4-room-and-through-passage plan house facing south- south-west, say south and built down a gentle hillslope. Uphill at the left (west) end there is an inner room kitchen with a gable-end stack. Next to it is the hall with a projecting rear lateral stack. To right (east) of the passage there are 2 unheated rooms; the first is the smaller of the two and was probably a dairy or buttery. The end room was formerly a service room or cellar but circa 1980 it was thoroughly refurbished and converted to a parlour. This parlour also projects to rear as the room was enlarged into a 2-storey outshot. The early C16 house was an open hall house. The inner room/present kitchen was floored at the beginning and the chamber above jettied into the open hall. The rest of the house was open to the roof, divided by low partitions and heated by an open hearth fire. The hall chimneystack was probably inserted in the mid or late C16. The service end may have been floored over about the same time but that part has been so much rebuilt that no structural evidence shows to indicate its early development. The hall was floored over in the early - mid C17. At the same time the inner room chamber was reduced a little in size as the original framed jetty crosswall was demolished and a new full height crosswall built at the upper end of the hall. The inner room kitchen fireplace appears to be C18 or C19. If it is not a replacement of a C17 stack here, then the hall had the only fireplace before the C18 or C19. The house is 2 storeys with a C20 lean-to conservatory on the right (east) end and secondary lean-to outshots to rear. Exterior: irregular 4-window front of C19 and C20 casements with glazing bars. The passage front doorway is roughly central and it contains a C20 glazed door. There is a secondary doorway to right into the inner room kitchen and it contains a late C19 - early C20 plank door. The roof is gable-ended to left and hipped to right. Interior: shows largely the results of the C19 and C20 modernisations. Nevertheless the historic layout is well-preserved and (apart from the lower end parlour) the carpentry detail appears to be well-preserved. The inner room kitchen has a axial beam, unstopped with deep chamfers; it is probably Cl7 and associated with the rearrangement of this end when the hall was floored over. The kitchen fireplace is large. It has brick jambs and a plain oak lintel. It is partly blocked although an oven housing projects outside behind it. The hall is a large room. It has a C17 crossbeam; it is richly-moulded with semi-pyramid stops. The fireplace here is blocked. No carpentry details shows in the passage or the former dairy/buttery. The beams of the lower end parlour were replaced circa 1980, so too was the roof structure above. The rest of the roof is original. It is carried on side-pegged jointed cruck trusses of large scantling and there is a hip cruck at the inner room end. The original jetty crosswall was a closed truss. The roof structure over the inner room chamber is clean. The rest of the roof structure (including the common rafter couples and underside of the surviving original thatch) is heavily smoke-blackened from the orignal open hearth fire. There is also evidence of a demolished smoke louvre over the hall. The Linhay: a probably C13 linhay projects at right angles to rear of the inner room kitchen. It is built of cob on stone rubble footings with a corrugated iron roof and faces west onto the farm courtyard. It is open-fronted and 5 bays (Alcock's Type T1). The roughly-finished crossbeams which carry the tallet/hayloft floor are tusk-tenoned into full height front posts which stand on stone pads. The posts support the outer principals of A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars. Hoop is an attractive and well-preserved multi-phase Devon farmhouse. It has a marvellous setting on high ground with extensive views.
