CAUTLEY ROAD
(East side (off))
Birks Farmhouse and attached barn
(Formerly Listed as:
CAUTLEY ROAD
Birks)
II
Farmhouse, with attached barn. Probably later C17, enlarged at
an early date; altered. Coursed rubble with quoins, the front
cream-washed; roof of slate and stone slate. The house is
L-plan formed by a single-depth 2-unit range on east-west axis
facing south, with a rear outshut added to the 2nd unit.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 3 windows, with a lean-to porch in the
centre flanked by square C20 2-light casements, a 1-light
fixed window to the right (probably a former fire-window), and
three C20 casements at 1st floor. (Some of these windows were
probably formerly mullioned, as the description in the list
issued in 1984 refers to two 3-light windows at ground floor
"of which one has lost one mullion", and the sill of a former
3-light mullioned window with chamfered mullions is now loose
at the front of the house.) Gable chimneys, that to the right
corbelled. Attached to the west end is a small barn forming a
projected wing. The right-hand gable wall has a blocked former
doorway next to the rear corner, with a shallow triangular
head and chamfered surround (suggesting a former
end-baffle-entry plan), and the added lean-to outshut has a
blocked square window in this side. The rear has restored or
modernised windows.
INTERIOR: the former housepart in the 2nd bay has a built-in
spice cupboard to the right of the present chimney-breast,
with a plain panelled door on butterfly hinges, but has
otherwise been refurbished; the parlour in the 1st bay has a
chamfered axial beam and original joists, and a small original
fireplace now blocked.
