LAPFORD LAPFORD SS 70 NW 4/80 - Town farmhouse including outbuildings to north-east - II
House, former farmhouse. C16 with major C17 improvements and C19 extensions. Plastered cob and rubble; rubble stacks one topped with C20 brick; slate and corrugated asbestos roof (formerly thatch). Main block is a 3-room-and-through- passage plan house facing south-east with inner room at left (south-west) end. End stack to inner room and large projecting front lateral stack to hall. Newel turret projecting to rear of hall. C19 one room addition to left (south-west) end and C19 stable with hayloft on right (north-east) end. 2 storeys. 4-window front to main house of late C19 and C20 casements. The 2 left first floor windows have gables over. C19 plank door to passage right of hall stack and C19 4-panel door inserted to inner room. Hall stack has probably original chimney shaft of enormous girth (now plastered). Gable-ended roof. Small addition at left end with 1-window front of late C19 casements, and at right end stable with window and hayloft loading hatch. Good interior. Passage/hall partition is a C16 oak plank-and-muntin screen with chamfered and roll-stopped muntins on either side. Chamber over passage jetties into lower side of hall and crosswall carried on a soffit-chamfered bressumer with pyramid stops, late C16 or early C17. Hall beam plastered over and fireplace is blocked. At upper end of hall is an oak bench against the cob cross wall. It has an unusual back of small fielded panels with mitred muntins and moulded surrounds. King posts divide the panelling into 3 bays and rise above the top to carved and crocketted finials. The spaces between have shaped boards. One of posts is inscribed with the date 1709. Cream oven alcove in rear wall. Service room has late C17 chamfered axial beam with straight cut stops and is still furnished as a C19 dairy. Roof is not accessible although lower parts of a C16 side-pegged jointed cruck truss show over the hall. Other early features probably survive throughout the house.
