Archaeological and historical assessment of the farmhouse and buildings at Partridge Hole Farm.
The farmhouse is considered of interest as it is dated to circa 1700. However, it was extensively refurbished in the mid-late 19th century which has compromised its historic significance. It is built of plastered cob, now with a Welsh slate roof but formerly thatched. It is a modest sized farmhouse with a three-room, central service room plan and lean-to outshuts across the rear and west end. The doorway, which is east of centre, opens onto a hallway with the two principal rooms on either side. That to the west, the kitchen and main living room, is the largest with a fireplace at the west end with a projecting chimney stack. The stair to the first floor rises from the rear of this room, within the western outshut. The room to the east of the hallway is smaller and presumed to be the old parlour. To the rear of the hallway is a small unheated room, formerly lit from the north. It is now used as a store and its original function was probably similar, perhaps a service room or buttery. The first floor plan generally mirrors the ground floor plan.
