EXMINSTER DAWLISH ROAD, Matford SX 98 NW
4/41 Matford Barton 11.11.52 II
Farmhouse, divided into 2 properties. A circa mid C18 rebuilding of a C17 house. Whitewashed Heavitree brecchia with a pyramidal slate roof and large chimney stack at the apex with several flues. Double depth 4-room plan of circa mid C18 with a central corridor, heated principal rooms to the front and service rooms to the rear: original kitchen to rear left. A straight stair rises behind the rear wall of the front right room at right angles to the central corridor. A cellar below ground level beneath the 2 right hand rooms is C17 in origin and appears to have been either 2 service rooms of a C17 house, or possibly 2 principal rooms. The cellar is now entirely below ground level but clearly was not originally. Former dairy in lean-to at right end now converted to cottage. 2 storey late C20 addition at left end. Main range subdivided into 2 houses. 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-bay front with very deep eaves with paired brackets, central round-headed doorway with semi-circular fanlight, ground floor windows left and right are paired sashes, 4 over 6 panes to each sash. First floor windows are round headed sashes with spoke glazing bars in the heads. The rear elevation has a similar doorway and small-pane sashes. Interior: The plan is largely intact although the interior has been thoroughly refurbished in the late C20 and features have been introduced from elsewhere. The cellar has a pitched stone floor with drains. The 2 cellar rooms are divided by a stone wall; each room has a deeply-chamfered cross beam and the rear room has a C17 window with octagonal wooden mullions, stanchions and saddle bars. The window is now below ground level. There is no obvious evidence that either room was heated, although a lateral stack may be missing. A C20 fireplace has been inserted against the partition wall. A compact house with a striking exterior, conspicuous from the road.
