GV II
Farmhouse, at one time blacksmith's house. Mid/late C17 with C19 or C20 addition at
the right end and C20 re-roofing. Rendered cob on stone rubble footings; wooden
shingle roof, gabled at ends (formerly thatched); axial stack with a rendered shaft.
Plan: Originally a 2 room plan house with a lobby entrance against the axial stack,
the left hand room heated, the right hand room unheated. A third room has been added
at the right end, and the middle room has been subdivided. A straight stair rises
against the rear wall of the left hand room - it is probably C19 and cuts through C17
joists.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front with the front door to left of
centre and a second door at the right into the right hand room. C20 windows but
probably in earlier embrasures.
Interior: The centre room has closely-spaced axial ceiling beams; the left hand room
has a C17 scroll-stopped crossbeam and fireplace lintel and retains some old wall
plaster, which also survives on the first floor.
Roof: C20 trusses, probably post 1960 and probably dating from the removal of the
thatch.
The 2 room lobby entrance plan is less common in the region than the 3 room and
through passage arrangement.
Group value with the blacksmith's forge at Ash Mill.
