Full description
Department of Environment, Untitled Source (Report - Survey). SDV327631.
Vis=roof: 2 smoke-blackened jointed cruck roof trusses over left end of range with a sooted ridge. The apex of the left hand truss has wattle and daub infill which is sooted on both sides, the infill is fixed to nailed studs and evidently extended below the collar at one time. Trusses to the right of the stack not seen at time of survey (1986) but described by hulland as clean a frames "with typical curved end collars of c17" (doe).

Holwell farm. Jointed cruck recorded (alcock citing c. Hulland).
FORMERLY THATCHED, Untitled Source (Report - Survey). SDV41438.
Vis=farmhouse. Circa early c16 origins, remodelled in the late c16/early c17, some late c18 refurbishment. C20 renovations. Whitewashed rendered cob and stone; slate roof (formerly thatched), gabled at ends; axial stack with brick shaft, stone stack at right end.
Untitled Source (Report - Survey). SDV41439.
Vis=plan: present plan 3 room and passage arrangement; hall stack away from passage, unheated inner room, heated lower end room to right, gabled rear stair wing to rear of passage, rear left and right outshuts. The origins of the house are a late medieval open hall which extended from the left end of the range at least as far as the axial stack. This building appears to have been divided into 2 rooms with 2 open hearths. In the circa late c16 the building was floored and either remodelled or extended to the right of the inserted axial stack giving the present main range arrangement with its unusually large inner room. The rear outshuts are probably c18 in date and the lower end room was refurbished in the circa late c18. A short section of the inner room, immediately to the rear of the hall stack, has been partitioned off and subdivided between a store room to the rear and a small unheated chamber to the front.
FIRST AND GROUND FLOOR, Untitled Source (Report - Survey). SDV41441.
Vis=interior: good survival of carpentry and joinery. The inner room and hall have deeply-chamfered step-stopped crossbeams. The hall has a large open fireplace with a chamfered lintel; hearth seats and a bread oven; the fireplace lintel is carried over a cream oven at the left end. The lower end room has no exposed beams but a probably late c18 decorated plaster cornice and an open-fronted china cupboard. Stair to rear of passage divides at landing; turned balusters and open string, probably mid/late c17.1 first floor chamfered stopped doorframe and several doors (first and ground floor) with hl hinges.
