1 axial granite ashlar stack and similar smaller C19 stack at left gable end, rear
wing has gable end granite stack.
Plan: originally 3-room-and-through-passage plan, lower end to the left now has
shippon at the end which may be a later C17 or C18 addition. Hall stack backs onto
passage, inner room stack probably inserted later. Kitchen wing added behind inner
room in circa later C17 with possibly contemporary outshut against its inner face.
Small C19 wing added for service purposes in front of inner room.
Exterior: 2 storeys. asymmetrical 3 window front of C19 small-paned 3-light
casements. Central C19 part-glazed door behind open-fronted C20 porch. Small wing
projects from left-hand end. At the rignt-hand end of the house is a doorway
leading to a passage through the building with a shippon to its right. Projecting
from the front of this shippon is another outbuilding probably also late Cl7 or C18.
At the rear kitchen wing projects to right with an outshut against its inner face
which has unglazed wooden mullion windows.
Interior not accessible at time of survey but according to former list description
contains 4-centred wooden doorway with moulded shafts, an open fireplace, exposed
ceiling beams and a moulded plaster cornice in one room.
Reddaway Farmhouse is still occupied by the Reddaway family who are first documented

This house may well have a very good Interior with early roof trusses and remains
externally unspoilt by C20 modernisation.
