II
House, formerly small farmhouse and linhay. Mid-late C17 farmhouse, mid C19 linhay, modernised circa 1970. Plastered cob and stone rubble; stone rubble stack topped with C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan and development: 4-room plan cottage facing north-east. The original C17 farmhouse however only occupied the left (south-eastern) 2 rooms. The end room was the main room (it still is) and has a gable-end stack with the original winder stair alongside. The small second room (now a study) was originally a dairy/pantry. The right end 2 rooms have been converted from agricultural buildings. The smaller inner room (now the kitchen and entrance hall) was formerly a pigsty and the larger right end room (now studio) was a 2-bay linhay. It is 2 storeys throughout. Exterior: irregular 5-window front of C20 casements with glazing bars. The right end pair of first floor windows are in a weatherboarded C20 oriel projection in front of the former linhay tallet/hayloft. The present front doorway is right of centre and contains a C20 door behind a contemporary gabled porch. Immediately to left is the former pigsty feeding hatch which has an internal shutter. In fact it is oak-framed and 2 sides reuse moulded pieces of C17 origin. The original doorway (now blocked by a window) was into the left end room. Roof is gable-ended to left and hipped to right where it continues down over a woodshed outshot. To rear the old farmhouse section includes a possibly original oak-mullioned 3-light window containing rectangular panes of old leaded glass. Interior: the original farmhouse is well-preserved. The main room has a roughly- chamfered cross beam and the rubble fireplace has a soffit-chamfered and scroll- stopped oak lintel and contains an oven relined in the C19. Original oak stair and roof of A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars. The C19 linhay was originally open-fronted but now its structure shows on the inside. The crossbeam is tenoned into a full height oak post and supports the front end of a C19 king post truss. An interesting survival of a small C17 house and it is well-preserved.
