GV II

House. C17, maybe earlier, origins; refurbished as the present house in the C18,
modernised circa 1950 and circa 1970. Exposed local flint and stone rubble and a
wall top of plastered C20 brick; stone rubble stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick;
thatch roof.
Plan: the cottage is set on the crossroads at the centre of the hamlet. It faces
north-west and has a 2-room plan with central through-passage which contains the
present main stair. The left room was once a kitchen and its axial stack backs onto
the passage. The right room is a parlour and has a gable-end stack which was
inserted circa 1950. Integral, that is to say C18, outshots to rear. The cottage
appears to be the result of an adaptation of a C17 or earlier house. It is tempting
to suggest that the kitchen was a hall with its stack backing onto the through-
passage. 2 storeys.
Exterior: irregular 2-window front of circa 1970 PVC casements with rectangular
leaded pane effect. The passage front doorway is roughly central. It is relatively
wide and contains a C19 plank door. The roof is gable-ended and at the rear the
thatch is carried down over the outshots.
Interior: was modernised circa 1970 at which time the crossbeam in the larger right
room was replaced. There is no beam in the left room. The fireplace here has a
chamfered oak lintel but the sides have been lined with stone. The roof is carried
On 2 A-frame trusses, one with pegged and spiked lap-jointed collar and X apex, the
other similar but made up of timbers reused from a C17 side-pegged jointed cruck
truss.
Annings is one of a group of attractive listed buildings that make up the hamlet of
Farway.
