Details
CULLOMPTON ST 00 NW 5/68 Little Rull - II 5.4.66 - Detached house. Late C15 or early C16 with C17 alterations, renovated and partially rebuilt in the 1970s. Cob, stone plinth, plastered under gabled-end thatched roof, the attached barn (perhaps originally a shippon) at the lower end, now converted to accommodation, under pantiled gabled end roof. A detailed survey and discussion of this building by Peter Child and Michael Laithwaite has been printed; it was in ruins when they recorded it but has since been restored. Formerly a 3-room, cross-passage plan. 2 storeys. Front: 3-window range; 2 C17 3-light casement windows survive at 1st floor with latticed leading to outer lights, 8 leaded panes to central lights, with elaborate catches. Otherwise C20 barred casement windows to this front and attached converted barn. Chamfered arched door surround to cross passage. Large internal stack heats inner room (to left) and emerges from front pitch of roof; axial stack backs onto passage, both with brick shafts. Rear, all windows late C20. Interior: of those features recorded by Child and Laithwaite the following are visible. (1) the plan is still intact; (2) the partition at the lower end of the passage has been dismantled, but the shouldered door surround had been removed to give access through the former end wall into the kitchen (converted barn); (3) shouldered door surround from passage into hall; (4) the hall is now once again open to the roof, and the inner-room jettying is clearly apparent; (5) jointed crucks marked 'B' and 'C' on printed elevation (p.308) are visible, although extensively renewed; 'A' (the cruck retained from an earlier building) was not visible.
