BICKINGTON SX 77 SE 7/9 Langmead Farmhouse, including - outbuilding immediately north- west of house

GV II

Farmhouse with central portion demolished and north-west end converted to an outbuilding with farm storage loft above. Late C16 or early C17 with later additions, including north-east wing believed to have been added between 1929 and 1932. Old house is of cob with some stone, covered with roughcast externally. Slated roof with clay ridge-tiles. Large projecting chimneystack at the north corner and another in the north-west gable of what is now the outbuilding. This latter stack is of great width and may incorporate an original oven; it has no shaft on top, but has not been capped. On the south-west roof-slope of the domestic section is a smaller stack, probably a C19 or C20 addition, and on the courtyard wall adjoining it is a yellow brick stack of similar date. Original plan uncertain, but it seems to have consisted of a single range plan uncertain, but it seems to have consisted of a single range long enough to have contained 3 main ground-storey rooms; both the end rooms probably had fireplaces by C17. The north-west room has the better architectural detail, appropriate to a parlour, but the fireplace has an oven at the back and may always have had one. 2 storeys; single-storey lean-to on south-west side. The south-west front, which faces the farmyard, has the remnant of the old house, still in domestic use, on the right. This has one window in the second storey and 2 in the ground storey, the latter 2 windows with a large buttress, probably of C19 or early C20 date, between them. The ground-storey windows are 2-light wood casements, the left-hand one C19 with 2 panes per light. The second-storey window, just above the buttress, has a 2-light ovolo-moulded wood frame of late C16 or C17 date; within the lights are C19 casements with 2 panes per light. To the left of the house is a courtyard with a high wall containing a C20 plank door to right. To left of courtyard is the outbuilding, formerly part of the house, with no openings except for a plank door to left, the upper and lower halves opening separately. In front of the right-hand side of the outbuilding and extending halfway across the courtyard wall, is a C20 lean-to with roof-covering of corrugated iron. Interior: right-hand ground-storey room of present house-part has chamfered upper- floor beam with scroll-stops; matching half-beam. Upper storey not inspected. Outbuilding part has gable fireplace with ovolo-moulded wood lintel having raised run-out stops. Chamfered upper-floor beam and half-beam, both with step-stops; scratch-moulded joists. 2 original roof-trusses with threaded purlins. One truss has collar with shaped ends halved into principals and fastened with 2 wooden pegs and 2 nails. Short vertical struts halved to feet of principals. The house makes an excellent group with the bank barn (separately listed) 10 metres to the north-west.
