SCRIVEN THE GREEN (south side) Old Scriven Home Farmhouse (formerly listed as "Home Farmhouse")

GV II*

House. Late medieval, with late C16 - early C17 alterations and C18 - C19 encasing; restored c1965-70. Timber framed, the ground floor underbuilt in coursed squared gritstone, the first-floor front encased in red/orange bricks in stretcher bond. Pantile roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays, lobby-entry plan, with original rear and end outshuts, the rear outshut extended outwards during C20 restoration. Facade: 6-panel door between bays 1 and 2 under a flat stone lintel. Recessed chamfered mullion windows of 5, 5 and 4 small lights. Three 18-pane side-sliding sashes to first floor. Hipped roof with gablets; large brick ridge stack opposite door. Rear: C20 wooden mullioned windows along rear wall; the outshut roof pitch shallower than that of the main range, with C20 roof lights to left of centre. Left return: timber corner posts with left brace to tie beam and close studding to first floor; inserted side-sliding sash window. The ends of the floor joists protrude above the bressumer which is underbuilt in stone. 2-flue stack projects from eaves level to left of centre. Right return: C20 roof light in sloping roof. Interior. Entry is onto the side wall of a large fireplace serving the central hall. This room has a stone fireplace inserted into an inglenook with stone bench built-in to right. The wooden mantle beam is reset C17, probably originally it extended between two of the posts of the timber frame, defining a smoke bay at this end of the hall. The ceiling spine beam rests on the mantle beam. Left room, ground-floor front: corner fireplace with inserted C18 stone surround and late C16 or early C17 wall paintings with a pattern of arcades framing birds flanking vases and stylised flowers. The frieze above and below is of stars with crude egg-and-dart and fret motifs, all in black and shades of red brown. The partition (south) wall of this room was originally timber framed; the doorway in this wall was reopened during the c1970 restoration but it was probably an insertion. The wall painting (now in the entrance lobby) was cut back for the left jamb; it has the remains of a painted motto "FEARE G..." and "HART I?6..." and painted stones were reused to build the walling between the right door jamb and the rear wall of the chimney stack. The left rear room has an inserted surround in the corner fireplace. The partition wall between the hall and bay 3 is of stud and plank construction, the studs having a cyma-type moulding. It is built on a wooden sill over stone footings, these were cut through when the door into the front room right was put in. Prior to the 1970 restoration the floor of this room was down 4 steps, forming a half-cellar and suggesting the use of this north- facing room as a dairy in the C18. The doorway into the small rear room is probably original; the partition wall between the two is of stone. Both rooms have a large rectangular recess built into the stone gable wall, suggesting the construction of built-in cupboards in the store-room when the ground-floor walls were underbuilt in c1600. Rear aisle: the inserted staircase at the west end is in the position of an earlier newel stair around the south-west corner post. 4 posts of the full-height rear wall survive, together with braces and wall-plate, and the first-floor close- studding above bressumer level. First floor: the extent of the surviving original timber frame is clearly visible - 4 trusses, the central 2 flanking the brick stack which was probably rebuilt in the C18 when the first-floor corner fireplaces were inserted through the timber-framed hood, traces of which remain. The floor level of the central bay is higher than the 2 ends, indicating the later flooring over of an open hall. The front wall-plate has 2 sets of holes for 4-light wooden mullion windows and original wattle and daub survives in the partition wall between the front room and outshut, bay 1. The common rafter roof survives throughout. Home Farmhouse was probably the principal farm of the Slingsby Estate of Scriven Hall. In 1851 the house was the Kings Head Inn, run by Henry Johnson and in the late C19 there was probably an external stair to a door on the left return. The house was part of the Slingsby Estate until it was sold in 1965. A very rare survival of an early vernacular building. B Hutton: The Houses of Scriven Green, 1979.
