Details
BUCKLAND-TOUT-SAINTS - SX 74 NW 5/41 Lower Sigdon - II Farmhouse, now house. C17, with C19 or C20 fenestration. Rubble, brick stacks, slate roof. In two sections, with split ridge level, and stepped up across site, set gable-end to road. Probable cross passage 3-room plan, stair turret at back. Two storeys, front has 2+2 windows, all 2-light glazing-bar casements, but 3-light to left of door in C20 lean-to porch. Eaves stack in brick at junc- tion between 2 units, hipped roof to right, with eaves stack at end, in brick. To road a 2-light glazing bar casement; various lean-to additions not of special interest. Back has various 2 or 3-light casments, some with glazing bars; C20 door and porch, swept down roof over stair turret, with small light. Interior has been much modified, including complete C20 roof structure, but retains a good slate spiral staircase, with evidence of an upper flight presumably to former larger roof space; a later straight stair inserted in C20. The central kitchen has large slate slab lintel, and a deep chamfered rough transverse beam. The upper end of this room has a panel and muntin screen of probably C17 date; this lies under a partition wall at the upper level, possibly concealing a further plank wall, parts of which appear in the roof space. There are changes of level in the building, the lowest end being away from the road; it is reputed to have been a long house, but evidence now tenuous.
