Details
NORTH HILL SX 27 NE 4/152 Battens and adjoining outbuilding 22.11.60 GV II House and adjoining outbuilding. 1581 for C.T. Vyncent (datestone), altered in circa late C18. Stone rubble, partly slate-hung above ground floor on front. Slate roof with hipped ends. Stone rubble side lateral, rear lateral and end stacks with brick shafts. Plan: The house is of overall 'L' shaped plan and the original arrangement is uncertain. The main range is of 3 room and cross passage plan; entrance to right of centre with stair to rear of passage and right hand room heated by a lateral stack. There is a corridor across the front left providing access to the central unheated dairy and the kitchen to left which is heated by an end stack. The truncated projecting rear lateral stack may originally have heated this room. Returning to front left a large room heated by a side lateral stack. This wing was extended by the addition of a circa early C19 outbuilding. There are at least 2 straight joints on the rear elevation of the main range and the height of the ceilings and position of the partitions within suggest that the plan has been altered considerably since 1581. Exterior: Two storeys. Asymmetrical 1:3 window front. Entrance to left of centre with granite 4-centred roll moulded arch with carved balls in spandrels and ball and stepped stops. 'ANOD. 1581.C.T. VYNCENT' carved on lintel. C20 door flanked to left with C19 C20 pane sash and to right by C19 24-pane sash and door opening. First floor with two replacement 20-pane sashes and C19 24-pane sash to right. The wing to front left has C19 20-pane sashes on ground and first floor. Lower 2-storey barn attached on front right with C19 plank door near centre, window opening to left and C20 garage doors to right. Three ventilation slit openings on first floor. Interior: Circa early C19 stair to rear of passage. C18 and C19 doors. The ceiling beams have been largely covered over but appear to be of circa late C18 with bowtell moulding. The fireplaces have C20 grates. First floor and roof not inspected. There is a fine monuments of Thomas Vincent of Battens (died 1606) in Church of St Torney (qv).
