STOKENHAM DUNSTONE SX74SE Little Thatch 7/207 II
House. Circa early C16, remodelled in circa late C17 and extended in late C20. Whitewashed stone rubble and cob. Thatched roof with half hipped and hipped ends. Rendered stone rubble stack at right hand end with slate weathering and C20 brick stack at left hand end. Plan and Development: 2 room plan, formerly probably with a through passage between the two rooms. The larger lower right hand room is heated from a gable end stack and the smaller left hand room was unheated. The house was probably originally open to the roof and heated from an open hearth fire since there are remains of smoke-blackened timber in the present roof. The floor would have been inserted and stack at the lower end built in circa late C17. In the late C20 a 2 storey kitchen wing was built behind the left end and a garage with a room above was added to the lower right hand end. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical. 2-3 window north front. C19 and C20 2 and 3 light casements with glazing bars, first floor windows at eaves level with eyebrows in the thatch. Ground floor left hand window is C19 30-pane horizontally sliding sash. Garage doors in late C20 extension on right end. Rear elevation has 2-storey C20 wing to right, rendered and with hipped thatched roof with eyebrow eaves. Interior: Mostly later soft-wood joists, but right hand room has one roughly fashioned beam. Fireplace at lower right end with chamfered calipered timber lintel with run-out steps. Partition on left hand side and most of partition on right hand side of former passage has been removed. Most of the roof structure has been replaced in circa late C17 or early C18, the trusses have collars lapped and pegged to faced of straight principals. One truss over lower right hand end has reused earlier principals which are smoke-blackened and one principal has mortice for a collar, the apex of truss is missing.
