FENITON SY 19 NW 7/68 Home Farm and Dairy Farm Cottage - GV II
2 cottages made out of a former farmhouse and adjoining barn. Early-mid C16 origins, much altered in the C19 and circa 1950, Home Farm renovated in 1987. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings, some stone rubble and brick patching; stone rubble and brick stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan and development: 2 adjoining cottages facing south-east. They occupy a long block built down a hillslope. Uphill at left (south-west) end is Home Farm. It has a 2-room plan and each room is heated by an axial stack, the right one shared with the room beyond in Dairy Farm Cottage. Dairy Farm Cottage has a 3-room plan and the right end room has a rear corner stack. The present layout is largely C20, the product of the subdivision and conversion of a farmhouse and barn. The former farmhouse occupied the 2 rooms of Home Farm and the adjoining room of Dairy Farm Cottage. The rest of Dairy Farm Cottage is a converted barn. There is very little evidence showing of the earlier development of the farmhouse except that it was originally some form of open hall house heated by an open hearth fire. Both cottages are 2 storeys with C20 service outshots to rear. Exterior: overall irregular 6-window front. All except one of the left 3-window section (the former farmhouse) are C19 casements containing rectangular panes of leaded glass. The first floor window belonging to Home Farm is a half dormer with the thatch swept over in a semi-circular arch. The rest of the windows are C20 casements with glazing bars. Both cottage front doorways are C20 with contemorary thatch-roofed gabled porches. The roof is continuous over both cottages and is half-hipped both ends. Interior: has plain carpentry detail where exposed. A great deal is C20 but some is earlier. The only C16 feature is a single side-pegged jointed cruck roof truss in Home Farm. It is smoke-blackened from the original open hearth fire. Feniton is an attractive little village containing a good group of listed buildings.
