Description


ILSINGTON
SX 87 NW
4/72 Colesworthy Farmhouse
23.8.55
GV II

Farmhouse. C16 or C17, possibly earlier; added lean-to on north-east. Roughcast
stone and cob. Slated roof. 2 large projecting chimneystacks with offsets on
north-west front; a third stack on ridge of cross-wing. Main range, facing north-
west, had through-passage with hall and inner room to left; cross-wing, projecting
slightly at the front, to right. The cross-wing appears to have been virtually a
house on its own, with 2 heated rooms at the north-west end separated from a third
room by an original through-passage; the passage and third room, however, all
clearly of a separate build. 2 storeys. North-west front is almost without
windows. 2-storeyed gabled entrance-porch in centre with large, chamfered, round-
headed stone doorway in ground storey; C20 plastic window in upper storey.
Immediately to left of the porch is the hall stack, with a further stack to right,
in centre of gable-wall of cross-wing. 2 small windows in ground storey; one at
left-hand end, the other to right of porch. Windows in south-west front of cross-
wing are mainly C20 plastic casements. Door to through-passage on this side has
late C16 or C17 ribbed door.
Interior not inspected, although owner mentioned a stud-and-panel screen. 1973
report shows there was an ovolo-moulded screen to left of passage in main range.
Inner room had been a larder or salting room and had bacon racks still in position.
To right of passage was a doorway with cranked head. Passage in cross-wing had a
screen "perhaps low" on right-hand side, and a round-headed doorway at rear. In
upper storey a "very good original cupboard".
