SILVERTON
SS 90 SE
7/218 Greenslinch Farmhouse
-
- II
Farmhouse. C15 or C16, much altered. Cob and stone mix, rendered. Gabled-end slate
roof. The present main range is probably the cross-wing to a truncated 3-room,
cross-passage range that now serves as a rear wing. Internal end stacks. 2-storeys.
Front: 3-window range, all C19 casement windows; all other fenestration C20 metal
frames.
Interior: right-hand room of main range possibly the lower end wing with 3 cross
beams, chamfered, hollow step stopped, and evidence of bake oven and smoking chamber
beside blocked fireplace. The rear wing contains 1 room, possibly the former hall,
with 1 visible upper or jointed cruck, chamfered arched braces, and a pair of
threaded purlins; the upper floor of this room is reached by an ancient newel stair,
of oak, most risers, treads and the string, original (perhaps C16). A blocked door
in the end wall to this wing confirms that it once extended further. Roof space not
examined.
