Full description
Department of Environment, 1988, Ashreigney, 5 (List of Blds of Arch or Historic Interest). SDV305.
Higher Crabdown Farmhouse and barn to north-west. Early 17th century possibly with earlier origins, 20th century addition. Plastered cob walls. Gable-ended thatch roof. Three brick stacks. Three room and through passage plan with lower end to the right. Two storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front of 19th century small-paned casements. 20th century gabled porch. Beyond 20th century addition is a probably 18th century barn extending in line with the house. Interior features have mainly been concealed by 20th century modernization but chamfered and hollow step-stopped cross beams survive in the hall. The fireplaces are blocked. The roof timbers do not show at all on the first floor and are unlikely to be original.
