3/106 Middle Allercombe Farmhouse ll.11.52 (formerly listed as Farmhouse on SW corner of crossroads and farm building: GV II adjoining forming a Courtyard)
Farmhouse. Early C17, probably enlarged in late C18 or C19. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings, stone rubble or cob stacks topped with C19 brick; thatch roof. 4-room plan house facing north-east. The central entrance hall and rooms either side may comprise the early C17 house. Certainly the right (north-western) end is addition. There are axial (maybe original end) stacks between each of the central and outer rooms. The fronts of both outer rooms are hidden by farmbuildings projecting at right angles which enclose the cobbled farm forecourt. Farmhouse is 2 storeys. Symmetrical 2-window front arrangement of late C19 2-light casemetns, each light 15 panes on the ground floor and 12 on the first. Contemporary 4-panel door. A small third window to right over secondary plank door. Roof is hipped to left, steps down by the right chimney stack to a lower level over right end roof with hipped roof containing an end dormer. The rear elevation appears less regular but at the time of survey much was covered by tarpaulins. Interior: only limited access was possible at time of survey. The inner right room has early C17 cross and half beams, soffit-chamfered with urn-late step stops. The large fireplace here was cob but the sides are rebuilt with C19 brick and the oak lintel is covered over. It also contains a C19 brick and cast iron oven under the earth. The other rooms were not inspected. The roof is thought to include original A-frame trusses. Good and little-modernised farmhouse.
