LITTLE TORRINGTON SS 41 NE 6/116 Bagbeare Farmhouse and adjoining - farm building to south-west

II

Farmhouse. Early - mid C17 possibly with earlier origins, with C19 addition and alteration. Rendered probably cob and rubble walls apart from exposed rubble wall at left gable end. Gable ended asbestos slate roof. 3 stacks - brick one at each gable end and axial stone rubble stack with dripcourse. Plan: 3 room and through passage plan from which the passage has now disappeared but likely to have been situated to the right of the hall adjoining its axial stack. Both lower and inner rooms are heated but their fireplaces are not necessarily original. Slight rectangular stair projection at rear of inner room although the straight flight stairs which run up between it and the hall are likely to be a C19 insertion with a new front door put in front of them. C19 rear outshut added. The outbuilding range parallel to the house is likely also to be C17 and is joined to the it by a C19 wing behind the higher end of the house. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front mainly of C18 3 and 4-light leaded pane casements apart from 2 C19 casements of 2 and 3 lights. C20 part-glazed and panelled door to left of centre. Single storey outbuilding wing extends behind left- hand end of house connecting with outbuilding range at rear parallel to house with corrugated asbestos roof. On its outer face the outbuilding has a wide cart entrance to right, a door at the centre with a loading hatch above and a blocked window opening to the left with stone hoodmould over. Interior: Most early features in the house are concealed apart from chamfered and straight-cut stopped ceiling beams in hall and lower end and a section of C17 panelled wainscotting re-used on the first floor. Roof trusses inaccessible at time of survey but may be of interest. Outbuilding contains substantial ceiling beams.
