DUNKESWELL ST 11 SW 1/16 Musgrove Farmhouse - - II
Farmhouse. Late C17 - early C18, mid-late C19 modernisation and extension. Plastered local stone rubble with some cob; stone rubble stacks topped with C20 brick; bitumen sheet roof over the original thatch. Plan: 4-room plan farmhouse facing south-east. At the right (north-east) end there is a small unheated room, probably the dairy or buttery originally. Next to is is the kitchen with a rear lateral stack. Left of centre is a parlour/dining room with a front doorway and an axial stack backing onto a parlour at the left end which has a gable-end stack. The left end parlour is probably a C19 extension. The rest of the house appears to be a single phase late C17 - early C18 farmhouse. 2 storeys. Exterior: irregular 3-window front of circa 1981 replacement casements with glazing bars. The main front doorway is roughly central and it contains a C19 1-panel door behind a contemporary gabled and slate-roofed porch. At the right end there is a secondary doorway with side lignts into the former dairy/buttery. The roof is half- hipped to right and gable-ended to left. It steps up from the main house to the left end extension. Interior: is largely the result of the mid-late C19 modernisation. In the left end section no carpentry or early features are showing and, as far as can be seen, this is wholly C19 in date. Althougn there is C19 joinery detail throughout the rest the basic structure is late C17 - early C18 and the C19 modernisation appears to have been superficial here. The kitchen and the dairy/buttery have roughly-finished crossbeams and the kitchen fireplace is blocked. The parlour/dining room crossbeam is chamfered with runout stops and although the fireplace is blocked by a C20 grate its original oak-framed front is exposed. The roofspace is inaccessible but the bases of some straight principals show on the first floor, their scantling large enough to suggest that they are from original A-frame roof trusses.
