Description

WESTLEIGH SS 42 NE 3/90 Bradavin Farmhouse including lofted outbuilding adjoining to east II Farmhouse including attached lofted outbuilding. Early C16 remodelled probably in C17 and again in C19. Rendered stone and cob. Left gable end rebuilt in brick. Slate roof, gable end to left hipped to front right wing. Axial rendered brick stack, tall lateral front hall stack, heightened in brick. 2 lateral stacks to rear, that heating lower end with tapered cap and off-sets, that to inner room with brick shaft. 3-room and through-passage former open hall house, the rear through-passage door now blocked. Slightly projecting stair turret to rear of hall. Following insertion of floors and stack probably in C17, the interior was again heavily remodelled in C19, when the front right-hand wing of lofted outbuildings, possibly originally a cider-millhouse, was added creating an overall L-shaped plan. 2 storeys. 5-window range. Two 2-light casements, 6 panes per light to left of stack above C20 porch with lean-to asbestos slate roof to left of 2-light casement, 8 panes per light. To right of stack are three 16-paned hornless sashes above 2 similar sashes to each side of porch with slate canopy. Semi-circular headed door surround with 6 panelled door and fanlight. Front wing of outbuildings has window to left of plank door on inner face, and a 2-light casement, 6 panes per light to front end. Tall loft plank door on outer face. Gable-ended dairy outshut to rear left end of main range. Interior: most C19 joinery intact including integral cupboards to room to right of through-passage and bench to hall. Said to be concealed stone chimneypiece to hall fireplace. Roof structure largely replaced in C19 with kingpost trusses, but one smoke blackened C16 truss survives over hall, with a morticed and tenoned cranked collar and formerly with trenched purlins and ridge purlin. The change in first floor levels suggests a possible phased insertion of floors in the C17.
