SX 78 NW CHAGFORD
4/36 Higher Weddicott Farmhouse - - II
Farmhouse. Probably mid or late C18, modernised in late C19 and again circa 1982. Plastered granite stone rubble; granite stacks, 2 with plastered brick chimney shafts and 1 with a granite ashlar chimney shaft; thatch roof. Plan: L-shaped building with the main block facing east-north-east, say east. It has a 2-room plan with central entrance lobby and staircase. The right room is the parlour and it has a rear lateral stack. The left room has a front projecting lateral stack in a gable from where the roof extends backwards over the rear block. The rear room here was formerly an unheated store but circa 1982 this was converted to a kitchen and given an end stack. Exterior: 2-window front of C20 casements, the oldest with glazing bars, and disposed towards the right end. Front doorway is roughly central and contains a plank door behind a C20 porch now with a monopitch roof of corrugated plastic. Roof is hipped to right. The left side has a more or less symmetrical 3-window front of similar C20 casements again with a central plank door, this one behind a C20 glass-walled porch. Interior shows mostly the result of the C19 modernisation but what carpentry detail exposed suggests an C18 structure. The front parlour (to right) has a crossbeam, the left room an axial beam. Both have plain soffit chamfers. The beam in the rear kitchen is boxed in. Roof of A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars. Much of the structural timber is elm. The fireplaces are blocked by C19 and C20 grates and most of the joinery detail is C19. The oldest door, a plank door with coverstrips, lies between the main and rear blocks at ground floor level.
