Description


CULLOMPTON LANGFORD
ST 00 SW
8/128
- Nos. 6 and 7
GV
II*
2 dwellings, formerly a single house. Early C16, substantially remodelled in C17.
Cob, stone plinth, plastered, under half-hipped shingle roof. Formerly a 3-room,
cross-passage plan, the lower-end to the right of the passage, with a C19 higher-end
extension. Internal right-hand end stack; stack just to the rear of roof ridge heats
parlour; axial stack backing on to passage heats hall; front internal lateral stack
heats C19 extension; all with brick shafts. 2 storeys.
Front: 6-window range; 2- and 3-light barred casement windows to 1st floor; 4
similar windows to ground floor with 2 front doors, that to the right leading into
the passage, set in a chamfered surround.
Rear:, stair turret to hall; 3-light casement window with chamfered mullions to
parlour. Small window with chamfered surround forward of right-hand end stack.
Interior: lower-end fireplace with lintel/bressumer extending across entire width of
house; rear wall internally faced with wattle and daub; rear doorway, chamfered with
planked door and spear hinges; plank and muntin screen to lower-end of passage with 2
arched doorways, one blocked, chamfered muntins and bressumer. Rear doorway arch
opposes front entrance. Another arched, chamfered doorway to right of stack leads
from passage into hall, through a short stretch of plank and muntin screen.
Hall: plank and muntin screen divides hall from parlour; stopped 15" above ground;
chamfered jamb to door (now blocked, the arched lintel gone). The screen is late-
medieval and a beam inserted above the screen head-beam carries the joists of the
inserted parlour floor. Chamfered axial beams, with step stops, support hall ceiling
- the last stage of the conversion to a completely 2-storeyed structure. The lower
end is similarly jettied into hall, and forms the bressumer to inserted stack hall
fireplace. Winder stair to rear of hall with original treads, risers and newel, with
chamfered door surround. Planked and studded door into parlour chamber, with
evidence of partition built when parlour 1st floor inserted. 2' difference in floor
level between hall and parlour chambers. 2 jointed crucks survive, although the
apex-carpentry (morticed and side-pegged) intact only to one; both heavily smoke-
blackened, with collars side pegged and morticed. No.1 not inspected internally
