Details
COMBE MARTIN NUTCOMBE HILL SS 64 NW 2/76 Coulscott Farmhouse - - II Farmhouse. Rear range C17, main range early C19. Rendered stone rubble. Slate roof with gable end brick stacks to front range, asbestos slate roof with rebuilt stone rubble stack at left gable end to rear range. The farmhouse consists of 2 parallel ranges, the longer range to rear comprising the original farmhouse which was converted to service use when the front range was added in the early C19. The plan of the original farmhouse is not fully recoverable due to the C19 alterations, but appears to have consisted of a 2- or possibly 3-room and probably cross-passage plan. The kitchen with dairy outshut and gable-ended stair projection to rear occupied the left end. The blocked front doorway with a deep embrasure situated just to right of the kitchen probably indicates the position of the former cross-passage, with the hall, which retains part of the fireplace to a demolished front lateral stack in the usual position, to the right. The hall was subsequently divided into 2 rooms in the C19. Beyond the hall, at the right end, it is unclear whether the large unheated service room (now used for storage) formerly with gable end steps to a loft over, is a C19 addition or a rebuilding of the inner room end. In C19 all the front window openings were blocked and facade obscured by the addition of the symmetrical front range which comprises a principal room to each side of central staircase hall. 2 storeys. 3-window range to symmetrical front range. 4-paned sashes. C20 central stone rubble porch with gabled slate roof. Quoin pilasters. Rear range retains mostly C19 fenestration at the back. Interior: 2 scroll-stopped chamfered cross beams and bressumer to lower end of original range. Most of the 2 panelled or ledged plank doors of C18 and early C19 date survive. C19 dog-leg staircase with turned balusters and square section newels to rear stair projection. Dairy retains slate slabs. Late C17/C18 roof structure with straight principals and halved and lapped collars. Front range has C19 staircase with turned balusters and newels with acorn finials, moulded string and handrail. Reeded doorcases with roundels at the corners to principal rooms. Right- hand room has acanthus plasterwork cornice and centre rose and panelled window shutters.
