1765/0/10026 Farmhouse at Sole Hill Farm 10-MAR-04
GV II Farmhouse. Probably C17 in origin, with a later C18 brick exterior. Red brick, mainly laid in English bond, with a peg tiled half-hipped roof; brick chimneystacks rebuilt. PLAN: lobby entry plan. EXTERIOR: three bay south elevation with off-centre porch (blocked). Segmental arches of headers to ground floor casement windows, which are modern replacements; modern porch to left (west) of no interest. Straight-headed first floor windows set beneath dragon-tooth cornice to eaves. Rear (north) elevation has a plinth and evidence of a former doorway. East gable end retains a line of hung slates, possibly covering part of the original timber frame. Later outbuildings to west end. INTERIOR: not inspected but reported to retain stop-chamfered beam in ground floor room to right of lobby entry, with some original fabric elsewhere; some re-used early joinery. Several-phased brick chimney flue: probable C17 fabric to ground floor, first floor openings created in later C18. HISTORY: listed as a substantially intact early modern farmhouse with several phases of fabric; in terms of plan, construction and materials it is highly characteristic of Hampshire farm buildings and retains some of its original ancillary buildings, including a barn [q.v.].
