3/284 Lower Creedy Farmhouse including outbuildings adjoining to north-west
II
Farmhouse, now house. Probably C16 core largely rebuilt in early C17, modernised in C19. Plastered cob on rubble footings; volcanic rubble stacks, some topped with C19 brick, thatched roof. Originally a 3-room-and-through-passage house facing south-west with inner room at right (south-east) end. End stacks to former service and inner rooms and axial hall stack backing onto former passage. In early C17 rear wings added to service and inner rooms (latter since demolished) and at same time main range extended to north-west, parts of which are now included in a cross wing of outbuildings. In C19 new front door inserted to upper end of hall and C19 stair block added to rear. 2 storeys. Irregular 5-window front of which 3 window right end is symmetrical about door. All are 3-light casements with glazing bars and some with vertical iron bars with exception of first floor left which is an early C17 oak 3-light frame with ovolo-moulded mullions (the left light now blocked). Main entrance now right of centre has C19 6-panel door with overlight and flat roofed porch on granite Doric columns. Secondary 4-panel door to left to former passage with overlight and glazing bars. Hall stack has C17 volcanic chimney shaft. Rear block to service room has C17 3- light oak window with external hollow chamfer and internal ogee moulding on ground floor south-east side and rear wall of north-west extension includes an oak 2- light ovolo moulded mullion window. Interior was extensively refurbished in C19 but much C17 work survives and more is probably hidden. Massive hall fireplace with chamfered oak lintel. Cross-beam over C19 entrance lobby is chamfered with late step stops as are all exposed C17 beams in former service room, rear block and north-west extension. Roof inaccessible but lower parts are exposed indicating that it is comprised of probably C17 A-frame trusses. Barn adjoining to left and projecting forward is floored with reused C17 beams and C20 monopitch roof of corrugated iron. Lower Creedy is a Domesday manor and was held by Ropert le Peyter in C13. According to Polwhele, it was rebuilt by Sir John Davie in C17 (Devon SMR). It was occupied by Reynells family, whose probable monument is in the church (q.v.)in C17 and was also home of the composer and Exeter Cathedral organist John Davy (1763-1824) (Upton Hellions Church Guide).
