SWIMBRIDGE YARNACOTT SS 63 SW 8/216 Yarnacott, including barn attached to west end
II
Farmhouse with barn attached. Farmhouse probably early C16, remodelled in C17. Barn added in C18. Farmhouse undergoing alteration at time of survey. (1985). Farmhouse of roughcast rendered stone and cob. Asbestos slate roof, half-hipped at right end. Lateral hall stack with offsets. Barn of unrendered cob with brick dressings and corrugated asbestos roof. Farmhouse 3-room and cross-passage plan with stairs in cross-passage. The extended lower end, however, may well have been a shippon and later divided into 2 rooms, the cob partition having once again been removed. 2 storeys, 4-window range. 2 C19 casements to left side have 8 panes per light above similar casement to right of 6 panelled door to lower end. Slated canopy continues over bread oven projection to hall stack and cross-passage doorway to left with 6-panelled door. C19 2-light hall casement 9 panes per light with small 4-paned single light window to dairy end. Barn has loft door above 3-plank doors. Interior: Farmhouse has stop-chamfered ceiling beam and bressumers to each end of hall. Chamfered beam to part of lower end. 2 raised cruck trusses over lower end with threaded purlins; the inner truss with mortices to the soffits of the blades for removed collar, the truss towards gable end formerly with lap-jointed collars. A roughly hewn pegged truss, possibly early C19 over hall, the remaining trusses replaced in C20, but section of ridge piece and ridge support reused with signs of smoke-blackening suggests this was probably originally an open hall house, the lower end possibly always having been floored over as the cruck trusses are both clean.
