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.
