- II
Farmhouse, formerly a longhouse. C16 or earlier; probably extended at right-hand end and rear wing added. Solid, roughcast walls, probably of granite. Asbestos- slated roof, half-hipped. Old roughcast chimney with thatch weatherings on ridge at left-hand end of old house-part. Small rendered chimney towards right-hand end of ridge. Large rendered chimney on gable of rear wing. Plan consists of through- passage with hall and inner room to right; former shippon (now living accommodation) to left. To right of inner room a service room, possibly a dairy; to rear, leading out of hall, a room with fireplace, possibly a parlour. 2 storeys. House-part 3 windows wide, the left-hand window (in front of hall) projecting slightly. C19 casements with glazing-bars. To left of house-part 2 doorways, one to through-passage and the other presumably to the former shippon. Doorways have a single wide porch with pent roof; open front, stone side-walls, the right-hand wall with built-in seat. Interior: Hall has chamfered upper-floor beam with bar-stops. One end, rather curiously, is buried by the C16 chimneystack. Wide fireplace with granite jambs, chamfered wool lintel with run-out stops, the left end chamfered beyond the jamb; a small chamber seems to have been inserted to left of fireplace. Above the lintel a relieving arch, the semi-circular space beneath filled with 2 specially-cut pieces of granite. Back of fireplace to passage is of granite ashlar, but without the cornice and plinth usual on Dartmoor. Good plank door at rear of passage, re-faced on outside. Rounded stair turret with stone steps at rear of hall. Rear wing fireplace has plain granite lintel. Upper storey not inspected. Owner says she heard from a previous owner that cows used to be kept in the lower end.
