3/70 Higher Rubhay Farmhouse -
GV II
Farmhouse. Probably early C16 origins, remodelled in the late C16, lower end largely reconstructed in the C19. Rendered cob with some stone rubble to the rear; slate roofs, gabled at ends; axial stack with rendered shaft. The original plan may have been an open hall house, but without access to the roofspace at time of survey (1985), this remains unproven. The post medieval plan was either 2 or 3 rooms and a through passage, built on a steeply sloping site with the passage and lower end to the right, well below the hall. The lie of the land suggests that there may never have been an inner room; the hall stack backs on to the passage. In the C19 the lower end appears to have been largely rebuilt, although some of the walling may have been retained. 2 storeys. Irregular 2+2-window front, the front door to the passage with a C20 flat-roofed porch approximately in the centre of the range; projecting rounded bread oven to axial stack to left of porch. Second entrance on extreme left with a C20 gabled porch. 1 small 2-light timber window, 2 panes per light over porch to passage, 2 C20 steel casements to left. The lower end, to the right has C19 6-pane sashes. Interior The hall has a deeply-chamfered cross beam with a scroll stops; blocked fireplace but left-hand wooden jamb with corniced top is visible. Winder stair to first floor to rear of hall. Apex of roof inaccessible but face-pegged jointed crucks survive, with original purlins, probably of the early C16 or earlier and likely to be smoke-blackened. An evolved house retaining features of interest with other features probably surviving but concealed.
