Full description
Department of Environment, 1985, Braunton, 48 (List of Blds of Arch or Historic Interest). SDV73918.
House, formerly farmhouse, probably 16th century, much altered in 20th century and extended into part of right-angled cob barn at upper end, the remainder forming a garage. Rendered stone rubble and cob. Slate roof with gable ends. Cob barn has pantiled roof. Two storeys in 3 cell plan, originally through-passage but screen removed and stairs inserted. Large lateral stack on front with offsets, whitewashed cob and rubble with pantiled roof, brick stacks at gable ends. Twentieth century refenestration and most openings altered. Square-headed through-passage 20th century door with roll-moulded chamfered and stopped surround. Pantiled canopy. Interior: shouldered doorframe at upper end of hall. Chamfered timber lintel to fireplace. Large beam just below fireplace is roughly chamfered towards lower end and rounded off on hall side, probably evidence of former jetty but roof timbers entirely replaced in 20th century. The farmhouse is built gable-end to the street and with Town Farm is an example of a centrally-placed former village farmhouse in relation to Braunton's historic cellular town plan, a nucleated settlement which still has its open field system. Other details: 12/96.
