Description

NORTH BOVEY
SX 78 SW
4/243 Youlden Farmhouse
-
GV II

Farmhouse. Probably mid/late C17 altered in C20. Rendered granite rubble walls
with rendered stone stack to right-hand gable end with dripmoulds. Thatched roof to
front, raised above first floor windows, slated to rear, with gable ends.
Appears to be a 2-room plan house with a central passage, the lower right-hand room
is probably the kitchen and the left-hand room the parlour, both rooms heated from
gable and stacks. Said to have had staircase beside fireplace at each end (1 now
removed) which suggests it was either originally a pair of 1-room plan cottages or
converted into a pair of cottages. Rear C19 outshut along full length of house.
2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front of C20 casements, 2- and 3-lights with
glazing bars. Two 3-light casements on ground floor with C20 plank door roughly
central between them. Stone outshut against left gable end. Interior not inspected
but roof timbers known to be C19/C20 replacements.
