GV II

Farmhouse, now 2 cottages. Early C17, possibly earlier, with various later alterations. Plastered cob and stone rubble; stone rubble chimneyshafts topped with brick; thatched roof.

Centre room, the former hall, has projecting front lateral stack and north-west end room has end stack. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with later rear block and lean to outshuts each end. Irregular 4-window front of various C19 and C20 timber casements, the older ones containing leaded glass. The left cottage doorway is early C17 with moulded oak frame containing fine contemporary studded plank door with applied 12-panel front and ornamental strap hinges. C20 hood continued from roof of projecting hall bay adjacent to right. Right cottage door (to Orchard View) contains C19 door. Roof is gable-ended to left and half-hipped to right. INTERIOR: Inspection limited to ground-floor left end where passage blocked by C19 stair, fireplace has C19 chimneypiece and crossbeam has plain chamfers. Original carpentry and other features are suspected, much of it covered by later plaster. Lanscombe Farm and Orchard View form part of an exceptionally attractive group of listed buildings in an unspoilt village and the adjacent Cockington Park.
