SS81SE BRADLEY
848-1/3/57 Higher Bradley Farmhouse

II

Also known as: Foxglove Farm Bradley.
Farmhouse. C18. Rendered cob walls; wheat-reed thatched roof
with hipped end on the left (in poor state of repair at time
of survey); brick shaft to lateral stack at rear left. Small
2-room plan with hall on the left and smaller unheated room on
the right; small lobby entrance and steep single-flight
staircase between, later extended at rear plus C20
semi-conservatory at the front.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; buttressed 2-window range with doorway
central to fenestration. Small window openings with late C19
4-pane 2-light casements except for C20 copy to ground-floor
left; possibly original planked door.
INTERIOR: has original roof structure with roughly hewn
A-frame trusses mostly hidden by old plaster ceilings and
original crossbeam with tongue stops, set well back from the
ends, and plain joists to hall, and plain crossbeam to
lower-end room.
This house is a good example of the traditional Devon 2-room
plan surviving on a small scale at this later date.
