Passaford farmhouse, grade ii*. A farmhouse of 3-room-and-through-passage plan of late c16-early c17, possibly with an earlier core, refurbished in the late c19 and also very recently. It is built of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with 2 stone rubble gable end chimney stacks and one axial stack, all topped with c19 brick. Thatch roof. The house faces s with the service end to left (w). However, the original room arrangement is unusual, probably with the service room as a parlour and the inner room as a kitchen. Internal detail, where exposed, is all late c16 - early c17 but none is visible in the passage or service end parlour. The hall has a 16-panel intersecting beam ceiling retaining traces of colouring on the beams (enriched chevrons in orange and yellow). Along the crosswall at the upper end of the hall is a length of c17 oak small-field panelled wainscoting, possibly the back was an upper bench end. The roof was inaccessible.(for full description see list) (nmr citing doe).
