Description

IDDESLEIGH
SS 50 NE
4/116 Outbuilding immediately to
north-north-west of Bullhead
- Farmhouse
- II
Outbuilding whose original purpose is unclear but was unlikely to be agricultural
although tile absence of a fireplace apparently precludes a domestic use. C16.
Walls are of very small pieces of coursed stone rubble, faced with cob on the
inside. Left-hand wall rebuilt in brick. Hipped corrugated iron roof.
Plan: 1-room plan with no sign of a fireplace but it is possible that the
rebuilding of one end wall replaced a chimneystack at that end.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical front with doorway at right-hand end which has
original roundheaded moulded wooden frame and heavy studded plank door. Latyer
inserted doorway to left. Leanto against right-hand end. Pigeon holes below eaves.
Interior: heavy roughly chamfered ceiling beams.
Roof: both original trusses survive - one-a side-pegged jointed cruck, one a raised
cruck. High morticed cranked collars, diagonal ridge and threaded purlins. The
timbers are all clean.
