Description

TQ 64 SW PEMBURY HENWOOD GREEN ROAD

5/370 No 46, Baileys Farmhouse

GV II

Former farmhouse. Late C17/early C18 with some C19 and C20 modernisation.
Timber-framed. Ground floor is underbuilt with Flemish bond red brick, part
of the front is plastered. Framing above is hung with peg-tile. Brick stacks
and chimneyshafts. Peg-tile roof.

Plan: House faces south west. It is 2 rooms wide and 2 rooms deep. The
front rooms are larger and they are heated. The right room, the former
kitchen, has a rear lateral stack backing onto an unheated former service
room. The left room, the parlour, has a projecting gable-end stack. It seems
that the original house was the front 2-room section. Originally the parlour
was an unheated service room. It was probably upgraded to a parlour when the
service block was built behind the kitchen stack in the late C18 or C19.
Another service room, now used as the kitchen, was later added behind the
parlour.

2 storeys with attics in the roofspace over the front rooms and cellar under
the front parlour.

Exterior: Not quite symmetrical 2-window front of C20 casements with glazing
bars. Central doorway behind a C20 gabled porch containing a C20 panelled
door. Main roof is half-hipped to right and gable-ended to left.

Interior: The front 2-room section has plain late C17/early C18 carpentry.
The wall framing is of relatively slight scantling with straight tension
braces. Both rooms on ground and first floors have chamfered axial beams,
runout stops on the ground floor and scroll stops on the first. The roof
structure is mostly hidden behind plaster. The former kitchen fireplace is
large, built of brick with a plain oak lintel. It contains some blocked
openings, one presumably for an oven, and includes a good wrought iron
swivelling pot hanger.
