1/180 Outbuilding approx 5m north of Dowrich House
GV II
Farmhouse converted to kitchen, bakehouse and store. Probably late C15 remodelled in mid C16. Plastered cob over exposed rubble; volcanic stone stack partly rebuilt with C19 brick; slate roof (former thatch). Gable-ended 1-room block facing south-east with massive stack in right (north-east) end and also tiny room projection from that end. 2 storeys. Regular 3-window front of mostly late-C19 casements with glazing bars. Central first floor 3-light casement has late C17 frame with flat-faced mullions and shallow ogee internal mouldings. Doors at either end. Rear wall has mid C16 oak 2-light window with chamfered and pyramid- stopped mullion to right and a C19 2-light casement with a fixed pane of small leaded panes to left. Interior has 5-bay roof of side-pegged jointed cruck trusses with 3 sets of chamfered butt purlins and ridge. It is completely smoke-blackened showing that original house was divided by low partitions and heated by open hearth fire. It originally extended further south-westwards. In mid C16 it was reduced in size, floored and given massive bakehouse/kitchen fireplace. Chamfered crossbeams rest on oak posts with jowled heads. Fireplace retains volcanic jambs of C16 fireplace but lintel and much of chimney breast rebuilt in brick in early C19. On first floor door to left of stack to tiny closet on solid stone base and includes small square-headed window made from single piece of oak. This may have been the manor house before new house built close by in mid C16, at which time it was converted to detached kitchen/bakehouse.
