Description


SS 90 NW CADELEIGH
5/56 Mill Farm and adjoining barn
-
II
House, formerly farmhouse. Circa early C16 origins, remodelled circa late C16/early
C17; C20 rear left addition. Colourwashed plastered cob on stone rubble footings ;
thatched roof, gabled at right end, half-hipped at left end ; front lateral
projecting stack with tall brick shaft, rendered projecting right end stack. C20
addition concrete block.
Originally a late medieval open hall arrangement, although without access to the apex
of the roof it is not clear whether the whole building, or only part of it was open
to the roof timbers. An internal jetty at the lower (left) end could be part of the
original plan but is more likely to be a secondary feature indicating that the lower
end and passage were floored first and that the middle room was floored subsequently
when the front lateral stack was added. It is not clear whether the inner (right
hand) room was always storeyed or whether it was floored co-evally with the middle
room. The inner room is heated from the right end stack which would be an C18 or
even C19 addition. The C17 3 room and through passage plan is largely intact, the
hall/kitchen has a rear stair turret which leads to the first floor above the lower
end, which is unusually narrow and unheated and presumably functioned as a low status
service room. A stair with C18 balusters rises from the inner room and the first
floor room right opens directly into the room over the C17 hall/kitchen. A C20
gable-ended block has been added at the rear of the lower end and passage with a
roofline parallel to the main range. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2 window front with a
C20 gabled porch and front door into the through passage to left of centre. The
front lateral stack has a rounded projecting bread oven with a pyramidal slate roof;
half-glazed C20 door to right leading into the inner room. Various C19 or early C20
1, 2 and 3-light timber casements with glazing bars, ground floor left, lighting the
lower end, is a 3-light window with iron stanchions. The rear elevation has 2 C20
first floor casements and earlier 3-light ground floor casements ; the thatch is
carried down as a catslide ove the rectangular stair turret ; pigeon holes on left
gable end.
Interior numerous features of interest survive. Side pegged jointed cruck roof
construction (apex not seen) with framed partitions to either side of the room above
the C17 hall/kitchen. On the ground floor plank and muntin screens survive between
passage and hall/kitchen and hall/kitchen and inner room. The higher end passage
screen has the remains of a late C16 shouldered doorway, partly cut away at a later
date. The hall/kitchen has a chamfered step-stopped cross beam and a partly blocked
circa early C17 fireplace with a cambered chamfered lintel and stone rubble jambs.
Plastered over jetty beam at the lower end of the hall ; circa early C17 doorframe
and door to newel stair in hall stair turret. The lower end room has closely-spaced
rough joists.
A lofted cob and stone barn at right angles to the main range and attached to the C20
addition has a corrugated iron roof and is of interest for the row of 8 bee boles on
the south side.
