WIDECOMBE-IN- SX 67 SE THE-MOOR 5/196 Oldsbrim Farmhouse 15.9.81 GV II
Farmhouse, probably a former longhouse. Likely to be C17 or earlier, with extension at lower end. Granite rubble. Half-hipped thatched roof. Granite chimneystack, probably of C19, in centre of ridge at right-hand end of house-part. Seems to have a 3-room and cross-passage plan with hall and inner room to left of passage and a non-domestic room, possibly a former shippon, to right. The latter, however, is at a considerably lower level than the passage and is divided from it at ground-storey level by a stone wall; there was a separate external doorway originally. The added room to right also seems to have been non-domestic; the dividing wall between the 2 rooms has been demolished. 2 storeys. The house-part has only one window at the front, a C20 metal casement at left-hand end of ground storey; it has a plain granite lintel. There is possibly a blocked window to right of it. Passage door has thatched, pent-roofed stone porch. Non-domestic section to right has 3 upper- storey windows of C20, most of the right-hand window lying within the added section. Below the left-hand window is the former doorway, the lower part now blocked and a C20 window inserted above. To right of this is small C20 metal-framed window with a granite lintel. The added section has a doorway with a granite lintel. In the gable-wall fronting road is an upper storey ventilation slit, now glazed. The eaves-line of both non-domestic sections has been raised; it originally sloped downhill to match the fall of the ground. Interior not inspected, but lower end was still non-domestic at the time of inspection, though clearly in course of conversion. A short flight of old granite steps leads up to the doorway into the cross-passage. Roof-timbers of lower end replaced in C20. The shippon on the south-west side of the farmyard, together with the adjacent south boundary wall of the latter, make a good group with the house and are separately listed.
