Summary

Goosemoor farm, near newton poppleford. A second room for a parlour has been added here to the basic cottage plan (one room downstairs and two bedrooms above). The passage provides the entrance from which a door on the right gives access to what is now reconstructed as a cart shed. Some fragments of pebble walling remain. This was originally the ex house. To the left of the passage entrance to the houseplace or living-room the stairs rise to two bedrooms. Beyond the living- room is the parlour with the closet behind it which may at one time have given access to the second bedroom by a separate staircase. Other interesting features are the setting of the fireplace, the construction of the roof and an oak-slab partition. The roof timbers are quite plain, the surface lightly plastered over, the wood being hacked to form a key. Slightly splayed across the angle of the room, the fire- place is now fitted with a stove. It still has its old settle (oliver).
