PLYMTREE NORMANS GREEN ST 00 SE 3/141 Perhams Green Farmhouse - GV II
Farmhouse. Mid C17, refurbished in the late C17 - early C18, modernised circa 1970. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan: 4-room plan farmhouse facing south. The right (east) end was originally the kitchen and has a gable-end stack. It is now the dining room and a kitchen has been made in a secondary outshot to rear. Next to the former kitchen is a large entrance hall. Left of centre is the parlour with a rear lateral stack and at the left end a small office with the main stair behind it. There is no structural evidence here earlier than the mid C17. Originally there might have been a through-passage between the opposing front and back walls screened off from the rest of the entrance hall which was then used as buttery or dairy. The ceiling levels are different over each part. A C20 stair has been built at the back of the entrance hall. The main stair is late C17 - early C18, presumably a grander replacement of the original. House is 2 storeys. Exterior: irregular 4-window front of mostly C19 casements containing rectangular panes of leaded glass. That ground floor left is a C20 casement but first floor right end is a mid - late C17 oak flat-faced mullion window containing rectangular panes of leaded glass and including an iron-framed casement with a large wrought iron catch enriched with scrolls, a fine example. The front doorway is roughly central and contains a C20 part-glazed panelled door behind a contemporary thatch- roofed porch with trellis sides. Interior: the fireplaces appear to have been rebuilt in the C20. Apart from that the C17 structure is well-preserved. The former kitchen and the entrance hall have chamfered and step-stopped crossbeams. The parlour ceiling is low and might hide the original structure. The main staircase rises around an open wall. The lower 2 short flights have been renovated but the long top flight is late C16 - early C17; closed string, square newel posts, flat moulded handrail and turned balusters. The roof is original; it is carried on jointed cruck trusses, probably side-pegged but certainly held by pegged slip tenons, and with pegged dovetail-shaped lap-jointed collars.
This is an interesting and attractive C17 farmhouse.
