Details
SS 62 NW CHITTLEHAMPTON EAST STREET (north side) Chittlehampton 1/137 Bratton Farmhouse -
- II Farmhouse. Some reused medieval roof timbers survive, but complete remodellings occurred probably in C17 and in C19. Rear kitchen wing added 1903. Interior again altered in late C20. Painted rendered stone rubble and cob. Slate roof with gable ends. Tall rear lateral stone rubble stack with offsets to room to left of passage, stone rubble stack heightened in brick at right gable end, and brick stack to gable end of rear kitchen wing. Plan: originally an open-hall house, entirely remodelled in C17 and C19, with C20 alterations further obscuring the original plan, but appears to have been a 3-room- and-through-passage plan, with 2 rooms now converted into one to the right of the passage, the end room heated by the gable end stack, the room off the passage said to have been heated by a rear lateral stack which was probably demolished when the rear kitchen wing was added in 1903. The room to the left of the passage was formerly used as a kitchen with dairy beyond retaining its slate slabs. As the reused smoke-blackened purlins are situated over this end of house, it is possible that the house has been "turned round", the original hall being situated to the left of the passage. The latter was widened in the C20 and a staircase inserted, with an additional C19 staircase in an outshut in the left-hand angle of the rear kitchen wing. 2 storeys. 4 window range. Complete C19 fenestration, all 12-paned hornless sashes. Slate gabled roof to porch with C19 panelled inner door, the upper 2 panels glazed. Interior: much altered in C20, but some good quality C19 joinery survives to ground floor. The eaves were heightened in the C19, with rough pegged trusses with lapped collars, but reusing some smoke-blackened purlins to the new left side, the upper tier chamfered on the underside with run-out stops.
