HALBERTON
SS 91 SE
1/172 Remberton Farmhouse
-
- II
Farmhouse. C17, or earlier, with later extensions and alterations. Cob, stone
plinth, plastered, under a gabled-end synthetic slate roof. 4-room, through-passage
plan with a left-hand extension set at an obtuse angle. The 2 higher end rooms have
probably been subdivided; left-hand axial stack, possibly formerly an end stack,
heats the end room to the left of the through-passage; the middle axial stack stands
above the division of the 2-rooms to the right of the passage thereby heating them
both. A fourth room, now divided to allow another cross-passage to be inserted,
stands at the (physically) lower end of the range, and is heated by an end stack.
All stacks with renewed brick shafts. 2-storeys.
Front: 5-window range, all 2 and 3-light barred C19 and C20 casement windows; 2
front entrances, 1 under open gabled porch, the other under a simple leaded canopy.
Interior: Plank and muntin screens (all chamfered, stopped, and with carpenter's
mitres) stand to either side of the passage (the stops about 18" above floor level);
another short stretch of screen stands between the main axial fireplace and the
frame wall; a fourth divides the 2 lower rooms, and now forms 1 side of the inserted
corridor. Room immediately to the right of the main axial stack with chamfered
axial beam with step stops; the 2 left-hand end rooms each with a chamfered cross
beam with unusual keeled step stops. Old door frame to rear of through-passage;
another, chamfered with scroll stops, to rear of left hand room; some C18 carpentry
including a framed stair, turned balusters and square newel, set in its own turret.
The roof carpentry is entirely C20; old roof timbers removed and stored in an
outbuilding look C19.
