BLACKAWTON WOODFORD SX75SE Woodford Farmhouse 1/38 II

Farmhouse. C17 or earlier, remodelled in circa mid C19. Plastered stone rubble and cob. Asbestos sheet roof with gabled lower right-hand end and hipped left-hand end. Lateral and end stacks with rendered shafts and yellow clay pots. Plan and development: A 3 room and cross or through passage plan facing south, the lower end to the right was the kitchen heated from and the higher left-hand room has an end stack. At the back of the passage there is what appears to be a stair turret. At the lower left end there is an outbuilding with external steps at the front of the house at its left end but is set back to the right. The outbuilding might have been the lower end of the house originally if the house were extended at the higher left end relegating the lower end to on outbuilding, but without an internal inspection this cannot be proven. Exterior: 2 storey. The house is a long asymmetrical 4-window range. C19 2 and 3-light casements with glazing bars. C19 panelled door to right of centre with C20 conservatory built around it. At the lower end an outbuilding with a lower level corrugated iron roof with a gable end. The left end is flush with the front of the house but the remainder of the front is set back and had an old plank door on the ground floor with a C19 2-light casement above and external stone stair to the right up to a first floor doorway. A later corrugated iron outshut built against the front of the outbuilding. The rear elevation has what appears to be a rectangular stair turret at the centre with a C19 2-light casement with glazing bars and a C20 single storey rendered outshut on the angle to the right and another large rendered outshut to the left behind the lower end. There are further outshuts behind the lower end outbuilding to the left. Interior: Only the lower end ground floor room was inspected. It has chamfered cross-beams with indeterminate stops.
