Details
DOWLAND SS 50 NE 8/99 Mon's Hall GV II Farmhouse. Probably late medieval origins but now exhibiting no features earlier than late C16, with C19 additions. Plastered cob walls. Hipped thatch roof. Stone rubble rear lateral stack and brick shaft set in from eaves at rear. Plan: 3-room-and-through-passage plan with lower end to the right. Hall is heated by rear lateral stack and lower room by fireplace in rear right-hand corner - probably an C18 insertion. In the C19 a small wing was added at the rear of the hall. Early C20 alterations removed the lower partition of the passage and inserted a staircase at the front of the hall. Beyond the lower room is a long barn which incorporates some late C16 ceiling beams although the quality of these suggest they may have been re-used from the house and the roof timbers suggest a C17 date. Exterior: 2 storeys. Long asymmetrical 3-window front of C20 2 and 3-light casements all disposed towards the left-hand end which is the house part. C20 glazed door to left of centre behind wooden lattice porch. The long attached barn to the right has all its openings on its rear wall consisting of 2 doorways and 3- window openings, one a first floor loading hatch. Small single storey wing projects from house to right of centre. Interior: right-hand room has chamfered and hollow step-stopped ceiling beam. Plastered chamfered beams in hall, its fireplace has been partly rebuilt. The right-hand 1st floor room has traces of a simple C17 moulded plaster cornice. A C17 door also survives on the 1st floor. There is no access to the roof space but the feet of insubstantial straight principals visible on the 1st floor suggests the trusses have been renewed. The end room of the barn has 2 heavy chamfered cross beams with pyramid stops. Its roof consists of substantial straight principals with curved collars set in and pegged.
