Doe House

II

Farmhouse, now house. C17, altered and enlarged in C18 and
C20. Coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, with some handmade
brick in gable; slate roof with brick chimney.
Two-bay baffle-entry plan with a projecting
porch-cum-stair-turret at the junction, an added wing to the
rear of the 1st bay and a C20 extension to the 2nd bay.
Two low storeys and now 1:1:3 windows at 1st floor. The porch,
under a carried-down roof, has a segmental-headed doorway with
chamfered surround, and a small 2-light stair-window to the
left and above. To the left the 1st bay has one window on each
floor, and to the right the extended 2nd bay has one window at
ground floor and 3 above, and all these windows are 2-light
casements with raised sills and rectangular lintels. Ridge
chimney at the junction of the bays.
The left gable wall, which has been raised in brick, has
horizontal sliding sash windows of 3 lights at ground floor
and 2 lights above, both with sills and lintels like those at
the front but that at ground floor with the returned ends of a
former hoodmould flanking the lintel. The one-bay rear wing
has a gable chimney; and beyond that, a C20 extension.
INTERIOR: the 1st bay has a former inglenook with an
unchamfered bressummer and remains of a former firewindow (now
concealed); and a lateral beam with quarter-round moulding and
stops buried in the masonry of the front and rear walls
(suggesting former timber-framed construction); the 2nd bay
has a triangular-headed fireplace with massive stone lintel
(probably ex situ); the rear wing has 2 longitudinal beams
supported at the further ends on moulded stone corbels, one
chamfered with run-out stops and the other chamfered and
scarf-jointed near the end.
