Description

UPOTTERY
ST 20 NW
7/95 Crinhayes Farmhouse
-
- II
Farmhouse. probably C17 or C18 but may be earlier; C20 extension. Plastered local
stone rubble, maybe with some cob; stone rubble and brick stacks, one with a stone
rubble chimneyshaft, the other topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof.
Plan: L-plan farmhouse. The main block faces south-west and appears to have a 4-
room plan with central entrance hall and stair. Both outer rooms are unheated. The
room right of centre has a rear lateral stack and the room left of centre has an
axial stack backing onto the end room. C20 1-room plan extension projecting at
right angles to rear of the left (north-west) end: it has a gable end stack. Since
no internal inspection was available at the time of this survey it is not possible
to describe the present layout in detail, nor is it possible to determine the
historic development of the house. It does not have an obvious C16 or C17 layout
but only a full internal inspection can sort out the history of this house. 2
storeys.
Exterior: irregular 3-window front of C20 casements without glazing bars, the first
floor windows rising a short distance into the eaves. The front doorway is a little
right of centre and contains a C20 plank door behind a contemporary gabled porch.
The roof is gable-ended.
Interior was not available for inspection although the owner claims that it contains
old beams.
Crinhayes is an intriguing farmhouse which might prove to have a good interior.
