Description

WERRINGTON
SX 38 NW
9/257 Bullapit Farmhouse
-
GV II

Farmhouse. Circa C17. Rendered and painted stone rubble and cob, partly slate hung
with rag slates on left hand side wall. Asbestos slate roof with gable ends. Stone
rubble rear lateral hall stack, projecting end stack on right with rendered shaft and
rebuilt stone rubble shaft to axial stack towards left hand end.
Plan: Original plan uncertain. The house has a 4-room and through passage plan with
lower end on right heated by end stack, hall heated by rear lateral stack and inner
room heated originally by an end stack. Whilst the left hand room appears to be a
later extension, there is a C17 ovolo moulded window in the rear wall. An C18 stair
was added in an outshut extension to the rear of the passage and there is a circa C18
outshut across the rear of the hall and inner room.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 5-window front with moulded string course above
ground floor openings. C19 or C20 door to right of centre with C19 3-light casement
to right and double early C18 casement to left with heavy thick glazing bars. Early
C18 2-light casement beyond also with heavy glazing bars and 1-light casement and C19
door to far left. First floor with 1-light casement, 2 probably late C18 or C19 2-
light casements and two early C18 2-light casements with heavy glazing bars. The
roof continues down in a cat-slide over the outshut extension on the front of the
left hand side of the house. On the rear elevations a C17 ovolo-moulded timber 2-
light mullion window.
Interior: C18 dog-leg stair to rear of passage with square newels, turned balusters
and deep moulded rail. Thin partitions flanking passage. Fireplaces with C20
grates. Roof structure not accessible, however the principals appear to be
chamfered, although part of the feet are boxed in and the purlins appear to be either
deeply trenched or threaded and indicate that the house has a probably C17 roof
structure.
