Full description
Department of Environment, 1986, Ashwater, 3 (List of Blds of Arch or Historic Interest). SDV19536.
House has 17th century core, partly rebuilt in the circa early 18th century, alterations of the late 1940's. Colourwashed plastered cob on stone rubble footings, corrugated asbestos roofs. Two rendered stacks. Original 17th century plan may have been a 2 or 3 room and cross passage. Projecting rear stair turret. In the 18th century the inner room was added or rebuilt. In the 1940's the roof was raised when the thatch was replaced by asbestos. Two storeys. Gabled brick porch and 19th century 6-panel door leads from the former passage on the front to the right. Single storey lean-to with slate roof. Originally there was probably no rear windows because the house was built against the slope of the land. Some survival of 17th century roof trusses with straight collars halved and pegged into roughly chamfered principal rafters which are halved and pegged at the apex. Other roof trusses date from the 1940's. The hall fireplace has been rebuilt in the 20th century.
