KING'S NYMPTON SS 62 SE 1/122 Howards Mill - II Farmhouse. Probably C16 but earlier fabric may be concealed. Painted rendered stone rubble and cob. Thatch roof with gable ends. Inner room has leanto corrugated iron roof. Rendered stone rubble stack at right gable end and stone rubble front lateral hall stack with brick quoins and capping.

Parlour to right of passage, hall, heated by front lateral stack and inner room, reduced to single storey in C20, to left. Roof structure not inspected but said to be of smoke-blackened cruck construction. The hall was probably therefore originally open to the roof. The inner room appears to be a later addition.
