2/8 Garliford (formerly listed as 20.2.67 Garliford Farmhouse)

II

House. C17 or earlier origins, probably remodelled 1704 (date carved on porch), C20 renovations. Cob on stone rubble footings, the cob plastered, the stone rubble whitened; slate roof (formerly thatched) with C19 crested ridge tiles; end stacks and projecting rear lateral stack, all with brick shafts, the end stacks with hand made brick shafts. Plan: L plan. A south-facing main range, 3 rooms wide with a 2-storey porch to left of centre leading into a lobby which divides at the rear between the stair and a passage. Lower end former kitchen to the left, small hall to the right, heated by the rear lateral stack, larger parlour at the extreme right. A rear right wing, at right angles to the parlour, is unheated, with a flight of straight stairs parallel to the rear wall of the parlour which has a blocked door on the rear wall. A rear left dairy outshut has been extended across the rear centre of the main range. The overall plan suggests the mid C17 but the size of the parlour and the plasterwork could be later, possibly a 1704 refurbishing and extension of a C17 house. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 1:1:2 window front with regular fenestration, the 2-storey gabled porch in the first bay from the left. The outer doorway of the porch has an ovolo-moulded timber lintel with the date 1704 scratched on it, 2-light C19 casement window with glaziing bars above. The other windows are probably early C19 or C20 copies of early C19 2-light high transomed casements with small panes. The rear elevation has one 2-light C18 casement with square leaded panes and a similar window concealed by the outshut roof (information from owner). Interior: Fine C17 panelled studded inner door to the porch, a similar door closes the passage to the rear of the lobby and a third, on the rear wall of the hall, gives access to the rear right wing. The house has been substantially modernised inside - the wall between the parlour and hall has been removed and all the fireplace lintels are C20. The hall has re-used C17 panelling on the wall adjacent to the entrance, returning on the inner front wall and a very plain, probably replaced crossbeam. The parlour retains a plaster cornice and central circular motif on the ceiling, probably of 1704. The lower end (left hand) room has a plain crossbeam; the fireplace has a large bread oven and a cream oven on the rear wall has a separate flue into the left end stack. The rear left dairy retains slate-topped benches. The handrail of the straight stair behind the parlour may be C17. First floor and roofspace not inspected, roof timbers said to be modern. During re- roofing work 5 cannon balls were found embedded in the cob; - it seems likely that they were placed there during building work. Christopher Tull notes that the Molford family built the present house in the C17 and lived there until 1692 when the Molford heir died (recorded on a tablet in South Molton Church).
