Full description

Department of Environment, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV326981.

Cleaveanger farmhouse including barn adjoining to east. Late c15/early c16 with major c16 and c17 improvements; rearranged and enlarged circa 1830-40. The older parts are plastered cob on stone rubble footings, the c19 work is plastered rubble; stone rubble stacks with plastered chimney shafts of c19 brick; slate roofs, some replaced by corrugated asbestos, the earlier parts were formerly thatched. The house now has a rambling plan and the earlier parts were rearranged circa 1830-40. The original house was apparently a 3 room and through passage plan house. Faces south. The service end room is now a barn. A late c16/early c17 rear block was added at right angles to rear of the inner room with an end stack. Two storeys. The c19 block has a symmetrical 3 window front around the central doorway. Good interior of a house with a long and complex structural history. The original roof survives over the hall and former passage and service end (now the barn). Evidence of smoke-blackening. Some early features are probably hidden behind c19 plaster. See doe list for full details (doe).

ALCOCK CITING HULLAND, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV50850.

Behind the existing cleaveanger house (georgian) lies the medieval house. Originally hall and barn with cross passage, possibly derived from a longhouse. Of cob construction, roof has jointed crucks, heavily smoke blackened. Hulland's paper gives a detailed account. Hulland suggests a late 15th century date for the basic structure of the building (hulland, 1980). Jointed cruck recorded (alcock, citing c. Hulland).

All trusses from same building phase, although those in the hall have some different structural detail with higher quality finish. The common rafters survive over the hall and are sooted.
