1/163 Outbuilding about 15 metres - north-west of Kelly Farmhouse

- II

Outbuilding, formerly a farmhouse. C17. Granite rubble with a layer of cob under the eaves, partly covered with roughcast. Corrugated-iron roof. On centre of ridge a large granite ashlar chimneystack. In right-hand gable in second storey a projecting, corbelled stack of granite ashlar. 3-room and through-passage plan, the rear door blocked; hall stack backs on to passage. 2 storeys. 3-window front with remains of C19 wood casements. Flight of granite steps in right gable leading to doorway, probably a later insertion, in upper storey. Interior not inspected, but report of 1969 says hall has double-ovolo moulded beam with scroll-stops. Fireplace has hollow-moulded stone jambs with rounded pyramid stops. The lower room has a half-beam with straight-cut stops. 2 early trusses with threaded purlins survive, the lower parts of the principal rafters concealed by plaster. A report of 1980 records a small second-storey fireplace in the right- hand gable. This is blocked, but the wooden lintel is curved on the underside and jambs are covered with a hard grey plaster with wide incisions to imitate masonry, a rare feature dating possibly from the mid C17. Owners say little has been changed inside. Sources: N W Alcock in Transactions of Devonshire Association, 1969, pp. 92-4 (including plan). Report by M Laithwaite, 1980
