SX 77 NW THE-MOOR
2/169 Outbuilding about 3 metres north-
- west of Great Dunstone Farmhouse

GV II

Outbuilding, formerly a small domestic building. Late C16 or C17 with added lean-
tos. Granite rubble. Roof covered with corrugated iron. 2-room plan. 1 storey
with loft. Plank doors with old wrought-iron strap-hinges. At rear right-hand
corner a rounded projection, probably a chimneystack. Stone staircase against left-
hand gable-wall.
Interior: has 2 chamfered upper-floor beams with step-stops at right-hand end. In
right-hand gable-wall is a blocked fireplace with curved wooden lintel, possibly
chamfered. In the rear wall, butting against one side of this fireplace, is an oven
with round-headed, stone-framed opening; the opening is recessed slightly, and
there is a flue above the space left in front of it. The left-hand room formerly
contained a staircase (information from the owner). C19 roof timbers.
This could well have originated as a detached kitchen, and as such is a rare
survival.
