Description

SS 72 SE ROSE ASH POADMARSH HILL

6/117 Poadmarsh Farmhouse and outbuilding
adjoining at west

GV II

Farmhouse, disused at time of survey. Late C17 or earlier with C19 and C20
refurbishment. Whitewashed rendered cob on stone rubble footings; corrugated
asbestos roof, gabled at ends (thatched until at least 1960, old list description);
projecting left end stack, axial stack. The adjoining outbuilding is probably C18 or
C19 and has a corrugated iron roof.
Plan: Not entirely clear on survey as interior not inspected but appears to be a 3
room and passage plan house, lower end to the left; the putative hall, to right of
the entrance, heated from a stack against the right end wall with an unheated service
room at the extreme right with an adjoining rear lean-to. The putative hall does not
take up the full width of the house and the stair may rise behind it or there may be
a rear axial passage.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front with a probably C20 porch to the
passage to left of centre with a C19 panelled front door. 2- and 3-light small pane
C19 or C20 casement windows. The outbuilding adjoining at the left end has 2 doorways
with C19 plank doors and a 2-light small-pane first floor C19 or C20 casement.
Interior: Not inspected but the left hand room has a large probably C17 fireplace, a
boxed-in crossbeam and a C19 china cupboard. The centre room has a C20 grate,
possibly concealing earlier features and the right hand room has a chamfered
crossbeam.
A traditional late C17 farmhouse forming a good asymmetrical group with 2 traditional
farmbuildings.
