DITTISHAM CAPTON Browns Farm including outbuilding (also known as The Dairy) adjoining South West

(Formerly listed as Browns Farmhouse including outbuilding adjoining SW)

GV II

Farmhouse and adjoining outbuilding. An early C18 remodelling and extension of an early C17 or earlier house. Slate rubble with red brick window arches, slurried grouted scantle slate roof with gabled ends and early crested clay ridge tiles. The rear outshuts have asbestos slate roofs. Cast iron moulded gutters at the front with lion mask joints. The outbuilding at the lower left hand end has a steeply pitched corrugated iron roof ramped up tot he higher main roof of the house. 2 rendered lateral stacks at the rear of the front rooms of the house rising from the rear outshut roofs; an axial stack with red brick shaft at the lower end of the house. Rendered stack at the lower left hand gable end of the outbuilding. Plan: the existing house is the result of an extensive circa early C18 remodelling and enlargement of an early C17 or earlier house whose lower end was probably to the left (west), its hall heated from a lateral stack at the back is now the hall/kitchen and the cross or through passage would have been where the small room is now situated between the hall/kitchen and the lower left end outbuilding. The circa early C18 remodelling created a double depth plan house with 2 principal front rooms, a large hall/kitchen to the left, a parlour to the right and an entrance hall between with a dog-leg staircase at the back in a 1-storey plus attic outshut and with shallow unheated rooms behind the parlour and hall/kitchen. At the lower left lend there is a long range, now an outbuilding but with a gable end stack with a fireplace with ovens. Between this outbuilding and the hall/kitchen there is a small heated room possibly created in the C19 in the cross or through passage of the original house. Exterior: 2 storeys (and attic not in use). Almost symmetrical 3-window front to the house plus a 1-window bay to the left. All the original window openings with segmental red brick arches with small keystones; the window openings are of various sizes, larger parlour window to the right and bedchamber window above. Only the first floor window to the left has an early 3-light casement with glazing bars and old glass, the others have been replaced by late C20 casements; the right hand windows are said to have been tripartite sashes. The 1-window bay to the left has C19 2-light casements with glazing bars. Central doorway with C18 fielded 6-panel door with small rectangular overlight with glazing bars; C18 or C19 open-fronted porch with seats inside; its gabled roof a replacement. To left the steep corrugated iron roof sweeps down over the lower end outbuilding which has blocked openings and one loft door to the left. Rear elevation: The main roof is carried down at the back over the 1-storey and attic rear outshuts either side of the central stair tower which rises to the attic and has a hipped roof. Various small casements at the rear, the first floor of the stair tower has a C19 fixed light window with margin glazing bars. The rendered lateral stacks rise from the roof of the outshut, the kitchen stack to the right is larger and has slate weathering at the base of the shaft. There is a single storey outshut to the right behind the lower end outbuilding. Interior: Most of the C18 joinery is intact including fielded 2, 4 and 6- panel doors. The C18 panelled doors on the first floor also survive. the parlour to the right has a moulded wooden cornice and a niche in the higher end wall with a round arch, fluted pilasters and shaped shelves; moulded dado rail and chimneypiece with fluted pilasters, dentil cornice and Victorian cast-iron grate. The hall/kitchen has exposed ceiling joists and a large open fireplace with chamfered wooden lintel with hollow step stops and a C18 moulded cornice shelf. The small room off the hall/kitchen has a small late C19 chimney piece. The partition between the hall/kitchen and the entrance hall is a plank door screen with moulded muntins. The hall floor is paved in slate. Panelled door at bottom of the staircase with bars like glazing bars in the top panel but without glass. The dog-leg staircase has splat balusters, moulded handrail and square newels with moulded caps. There is said to be a large open fireplace with ovens at the lower gable end of the lower left end outbuilding but this was inaccessible at the time of the survey. The early C18 roof survives over the house, it has straight principals with lapped and pegged collars. The roof over the lower end outbuilding also has lapped and pegged collars.
