PLYMTREE NORMANS GREEN ST 00 SE 3/139 Normans Green House - - II
House. Mid C17, renovated in the mid C19, modernised circa 1980. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings, part is all stone rubble; stone rubble or cob stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan: 4-room-and-through-passage plan facing north towards the crossroads. The left (east) end room is the stone section; it is a C19 service extension. Next to it is a parlour with an axial stack backing onto the service room. There is a central passage in from the back and it contains the main stair. The front doorway is a little further right behind an unheated service room (probably the buttery or dairy). At the right (west) end is the kitchen with a gable-end stack. A broad curving turret projects to front and it is used as a pantry. The partition has been removed between the kitchen and service room. This plan is the result of a C19 turnabout. The original kitchen was the left room and the original parlour was at the right end. Then the turret at the front housed a newel stair and the front doorway was at the front end of the passage. Exterior: there are few front windows, a C20 bay window left of centre, and the other 2 are C18 or C19 casements containing rectangular panes of leaded glass. There are more windows to rear and they are C20 casements with glazing bars. The front doorway (in its C19 position, right of centre) contains a C20 plank door behind a contemporary thatch-roofed porch. The roof has a steep half hip to left and is gable-ended to right. Interior: in the present parlour/former kitchen there is no crossbeam. The kitchen fireplace is now exposed. It is not original, it is probably C18 and is built of brick and has a replacement oak lintel. There is a brick oven at the back and alongside to left a well-preserved brick cream oven. The joinery and detail of the passage is wholly mid C19. The former parlour at the right end. The crossbeam here is original; chamfered with roll stops. The fireplace is blocked but part of its oak lintel is exposed (there is said to be a smaller fireplace hidden in the chamber above). Roof of side-pegged jointed cruck trusses.
