7/44 Pinn Court Farmhouse and adjacent - wall to the west with old wooden window frame - II

Farmhouse. Core and earliest roof C14 or early-C15 with later alterations and additions. Cob, stone plinth, rendered, with gabled-end slate roof. Originally a 3-room, through passage plan, the higher end to the right of passage; with a shallow rear kitchen wing under catslide roof and a late-C19 rear wing containing the main stairs, separately roofed. 2 storeys throughout. Front: 4 window range, all casements timber, C20. Wide doorway (left of centre) with canopy supported by heavy scrolled brackets of circa 1700. One window to left, 3 to right, all casements C20. Buttressing at left-hand angle. 2 end stacks, both now internal. Left-hand end with no windows. Rear: C19 gabled-end wing, brick. Kitchen wing with one 2-light early-C19 timber casement window to each floor, 4 panes to each light. External sandstone lateral back stack (no longer used and with an inserted C20 window) was an early insertion to heat hall. Another stack (heating present main room) breaks through slope of roof. A fourth stack just to the rear of roof ridge marks position of fireplace backing onto passage. 2 windows to rear of main range (above a C20 lean-to) each with an early-C19 timber casement, one with 3 single-paned lights, the other with 2. Interior: front door gives into through passage with blocked opposed rear door. Kitchen with deeply chamfered beam and massive (altered) end fireplace. Newel 2 staircase to right built into thickness of stack, treads and risers probably C17. First floor chamber of lower end divided into 2 with C17 partitions and plaster cornices which combine ovolo and cyma recta mouldings and fillet. Higher end: rear corridor; hall first floor is 1 metre higher than level of lower end. Roof: 5 medieval bays to upper end. Hall of 3 bays with jointed crucks, apexes morticed and pegged to saddle; collars and braces, 2 central trusses chamfered on both sides, outer trusses to hall side only; one complete wind brace and fragments of others; all trusses and trenched purlins smoke-blackened. Inner room 2 bays, one principal, purlins (now gone) formerly threaded; hip cruck, arch-braced to ridge piece. Evidence of wind braces. Smoke blackened. The wind braces (or fragments) are concealed from the inner roof space by C17 battening (representing a second roof), at which time wattle partitions were erected to provide garret accommodation. A medieval window has been removed to the farmyard wall to the rear of farmhouse: 4- light, timber, each light slightly chamfered and trefoil headed with mullions and sill, but lintel C19, the top foil an ogee, suggesting a date circa 1400. Historical note: from the early 1390s Pinn Court (called Pynne) was the residence of the Cheyne family. Sir William Cheyne married the Pinhoe heiress and the house may have been built by him or his son, Sir John. Both were important political figures, Sir William being a retainer of both Richard II and Henry IV, and Sheriff of Devon in 1408-9, and Sir John Sheriff of Devon in 1433-4 and 1443-4.
