| Summary: | George Teign Barton farmhouse. Probably 16C origins, thoroughly remodelled circa late 18C/early 19C. Whitewashed rendered stone rubble; thatched roof, gabled at left end, hipped at end of wing, rear outshut slated; left end stack, axial stack, projecting end stack with set-offs and bread oven to outshut. Plan: L-plan, the main range of 2 builds but probably a 3 room and through passage arrangement in origin, the lower end passage rebuilt at the left. The odd position and substantial scale of the stack heating the outshut suggests that it may have been part of a 17C rear kitchen wing subsequently remodelled as an outshut. The long front wing at right angles to the inner room, functioned as service accommodation and a cider house at the end, formerly with apple loft over. The rebuilding of the lower end and passage may date from the late 18C/early 19C when the main block was re-roofed; later 19C roof to most of wing. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front with a change in roofline and front plane to the right of the front door which leads into a truncated passage to left of centre; thatched porch on posts.1 ground floor and 2 first floor early 19C 16-pane timber sashes to left; 20C timber casement windows with glazing bars to right of porch. The wing has timber casement windows to the left, a door to right of centre and further door at extreme right into the outbuilding; 2 ground floor windows between doors, 1 loft opening. Interior: the middle room of the main block has an open fireplace with a dressed-off timber lintel, granite jambs (1 jamb a chamfered monolith), and a bread oven. The cross beam and exposed joists are replacements. Granite steps and some pitched stone flooring between the middle room and the passage; late 18C or 19C stair with turned newels and stick balusters adjacent to stack. The rear of the stack, visible in the passage is good granite ashlar, a feature often associated with inserted stacks inthe region. The outshut has an open fireplace with an 18C or 19C timber lintel and bread oven, the stack is probably 17C. The wing has a probably 18C plain timber stair and the remains of wall and ceiling plaster in what is now a store room indicates former domestic use. Roof: most of the wing is roofed with 19C scissor-braced trusses but end adjoining the main block and the main block roof has a probably slightly earlier collar rafter roof truss design. A large handsome thatched house which forms a group with the barn. |
