GV II

Farmhouse. 1876 (datestone), said to be later than the planned farmyard with which
it forms a group. Stone rubble with brick dressings ; 3 span slate roof, gabled at
ends, half-hipped at front in the centre ; axial stacks with brick shafts ; end stack
to left hand left hand block.
Plan: A large double depth farmhouse, 2 rooms wide, approximately square on plan west
Central entrance into a stair hall on the west side and a second, central entrance on
the north side, facing the farmyard.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3 bay front (west) elevation, gabled to the front
to left and right, the centre block (separately roofed, with a lower roofline), half-
hipped to the front. Central gabled porch with a 2-centred arched outer doorway.
Original window embrasures, reglazed with aluminium framed windows. The left return
has a similar porch and 3 bays ; 2 of the windows have been reglazed but 3 retain
their high transomed timber casements with glazing bars. The right return is similar
to the left return, without a porch.
Interior: Not inspected but probably retains contemporary joinery.
In spite of the unfortunate reglazing this is an important house, not only for group
value with very large planned farmyard to the north-west but also with Haccombe
Church and Haccombe House to the south.
