LYNTON AND LYNMOUTH
SS74SW STOCK ROAD, Lynton 858-1/3/46 (South side) 03/09/73 South Furzehill Farmhouse (Formerly Listed as: LYNTON FURZEHILL Former South Furzehill Farmhouse and remains of Chapel to north)
GV II
Farmhouse, used as holiday accommodation. C16 or C17, substantial later modifications, including added late C20 bay. Rubble, one gable rendered, slate roof. A long single depth range, stepped up at the left (E) end. A long single-depth continuous ridge, and unusual layout, with 2 large lateral eaves stacks on the entrance (N) side. 2 storeys. The entrance front has a large garage opening to concrete lintel to the left, then 2 separate but joined outshuts under swept down roofs; that to the left with plank door and a large rectangular opening, and to the right a 2-plank door set in reveals. Above this door is a small casement set in to the roof as a reversed dormer. The main wall has 2 small casements to the ground floor. The right gable, part of the C20 extension, has a gable casement above a wide steel casement. The rear wall includes 2 half-dormers with gables over, and casements at the ground and first floors, including 2 with rough drip-courses, and a small light similar to fire-bay or staircase light; there are 2 lean-to buttresses, and far right the house is linked by a covered passage to the new farmhouse (not included). INTERIOR: the main parlour has a large lateral fireplace at one end, with 2 bread ovens, and new bressumer, the floor is in stone flags and on the far wall a lateral timber staircase is enclosed by C19 panelling, with a plank door. This space has a very low ceiling, but with C20 joists. To the right, down one step, is the late C20 kitchen addition. To the left the remainder of the ground floor is closed off to the large garage space. Upstairs there are various thin C19 or earlier plank doors, and over the stair is an exposed rough principal, no longer supporting the roof, which appears to have been rebuilt, but there are early purlins at the upper end. An interesting early building, so much altered as to be difficult to interpret. That there was an early manor farm here is attested by the presence of the chapel (qv) which lies to the N, and the external form of the farmhouse suggests the possibility of C16 provenance, although no other detail remains from this period.
