Details
LUPPITT ST 10 SE 10/59 Rollshayes Farmhouse including - front boundary walls - II Farmhouse. Dated 1877, probably C16 or C17 origins. Local stone and flint rubble; stone rubble stacks, one with a limestone ashlar chimneyshaft, the others topped with C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan: L-plan farmhouse. The main block faces south-west and is built down a gentle hillslope. It has a 3-room-and-through-passage plan but there is no physical evidence that it dates any earlier than 1877. Uphill at the right (south-east end is a small unheated cellar or woodstore. Next to it is a parlour with an axial stack backing onto the passage and, at the left (north-west) end, a dining room with a gable-end stack. The main stair is a straight flight rising from the back of the passage behind the parlour in a projecting stair turret. A 2-room plan service block projects at right angles to rear of the left end, the dining room. It contains first, an unheated dairy and behind that a kitchen with a gable-end stack. There is probably secondary outshot on the angle of the 2 wings behind the passage. House is 2 storeys. Exterior: regular but not symmetrical 4-window front of original casement windows with rectangular panes of leaded glass. There are more similar windows to rear and in the rear block; only a couple have been replaced and the dairy and woodstore/cellar windows have never been glazed. The passage front doorway has a C20 flat concrete architrave and contains a C20 studded plank door. There is an original front door to the woodstore/cellar. The roof is half-hipped to right and gable-ended to left with shaped kneelers and coping. The parlour stack chimneyshaft is limestone ashlar and is inscribed with the date 1887. Interior contains much original, that is to say late C19, joinery detail. Despite the layout which suggests a C16 or C17 farmhouse there is no physical evidence of any earlier fabric here. A narrow strip of ground across the front is enclosed by a late C19 low stone rubble wall. This farmhouse has been surprisingly little altered since it was built.
