Details
YARCOMBE ST 20 NE 8/155 Chaffhay Farmhouse - - II Farmhouse. Probably C17 with a late C19 extension. Plastered local stone rubble, maybe with cob; stone rubble stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof, slate to the late C19 extension. Plan: since no close inspection was possible at the time of this survey it is not possible to describe the building adequately. The farmhouse faces south-east and only the rear can be seen from the road. Nevertheless it appears to have a 3-room plan in which the left (south-western) room is a late C19 extension. The original 2- room house has gable-end stacks. 2 storeys with maybe integral outshots to rear. Exterior: only the rear could be seen at the time of this survey. Here there is a doorway containing a C20 door behind a contemporary porch towards the right end (into the late C19 extension). There is a C20 casement with glazing bars above and another to right. The rest is taken up by the rear outshots. The roof is gable- ended and carried down continuously over the rear outshots. Interior was not available for inspection at the time of this survey although it is said to contain large beams and an open fireplace with a bread oven. Chaffhay looks like an interesting small C17 farmhouse but a full internal investigation should be undertaken to determine the layout ahd assess the surviving features before any alterations take place.
