Description


ASHWATER
SX 39 NE
3/4 Haye Farmhouse
16.7.82 II
Small farmhouse with adjoining shippon and barn. Late medieval house remodelled in
the C16, shippon adjoining at right end probably C17 in origin, right-hand barn
probably C18, sympathetic C20 renovations. Stone rubble and plastered cob, house and
shippon thatched, barn slated. Left gable end stack, axial stone stack at junction
between house and shippon. A small 2-room medieval house with a 2-bay open hall to
the right and an unheated inner room. In the C16 the hall was ceiled over and
enlarged to the front by a gabled projection with a stack inserted at the right-hand
end. The shippon adjoining at the lower end probably dates from a C17 phase giving a
3 room and passage plan. The inner room stack was added in 1792 (dated fireplace
lintel) probably contemporary with the 2 small rear service rooms under a lean-to
roof and the addition of the threshing barn at the lower end of the shippon. 2
storeys. Asymmetrical 2-window front, the hall projection gabled to the front and
the former passage entrance to the right of the hall stack into the shippon which has
a lower roofline. Sympathetic C20 fenestration of 3-light casements, 3 panes per
light, 1 window to the hall projection. A small rectangular window on the right
return of the projection with an ancient wooden frame and deep internal splay appears
to have been a squint looking out on the approach to the farmstead. The shippon has
a ventilation slit with a timber lintel to the right of the doorway, the barn has a
central entrance under a timber lintel.
Interior The smoke-blackened collar rafter truss of the medieval hall survives
below a late C20 roof, the principal rafter to the front of the hall was removed in
the C16 when the hall projection was added; the rear principal rafter is a raised
cruck and, like the common rafters, is heavily sooted. The C16 hall is very complete
with a large fireplace with 1 granite and 1 stone rubble jamb, a roughly chamfered
lintel and a bread oven. The hall ceiling has exposed joists to the rear and 2
deeply chamfered C16 ceiling beams with step scroll stops to the projection. A
straight stair runs against the rear wall of the hall behind a timber partition.
Rounghly-chamfered exposed joists to the inner room which has a large fireplace with
1 granite and 1 stone rubble jamb, the chamfered lintel dated 1792. Plank and batten
doors with strap hinges are probably also late C18.
An unusually complete example of a typically small west Devon house.
