asbestos slate roof. Lower projecting gable end chimney stack to kitchen on left

3 room and cross passage plan with kitchen at lower end on right, and heated wing at

2 storeys, regular 3-window front. Ground floor with 3 probably C20 2-light
casements with glazing bars below dressed stone segmental arches. C20 part glazed
door in dressed stone segmental arch asymmetrically placed nearer hall between first
and second window opening. Straight joint to left of door. First floor with 3
probably C20 2-light casements with glazing bars. C19 outshut added on lower left-
hand gable end with probably C19 lean-to outshut to rear between rear projecting wing
and lower end. C20 glazed outshut of concrete block with C20 fenestration and
corrugated asbestos roof.
Interior with fireplaces partly blocked. Inner room and first floor not inspected.
Stone rubble wall to front of house enclosing small garden.
Higher Wringworthy Farmhouse illustrates an interesting plan for a probably early C19
building, adopting the traditional 3-room plan but having a large inner room parlour
the same size as the hall.
