Description

IDEFORD HESTOW ROAD
SX 87 NE
4/95 Hestow Barton

II

Farmhouse. Probably early C18 with some C20 internal refurbishment. Rendered stone
rubble with slate roof, gabled at ends; end stacks, additional left end stack to
outshut.
Plan form of 2 principal heated rooms, 1 on either side of a central passage
containing the stair, which is partitioned off from the passage which continues
between service rooms to the rear in an integral outshut under a catslide roof,
kitchen to rear left. C20 rear right lean-to.
2 storeys. 3-bay symmetrical front with a circa late C19 porch with a parapet. C20
front door with a rectangular fanlight. 2-light casements, 6 panes per light
throughout; the 3 first floor windows have timber lintels, the ground floor windows
have slightly cambered heads. The left end wall has a semi-circular projecting
slate-roofed bread oven to the outshut.
Interior: The plan form is intact. Virtually complete set of circa 1700 panelled
doors including all those leading off the first floor landing. Flight of stairs to
attic rooms which were clearly servants' accommodation. Pegged collar rafter roof
trusses, neatly notched and halved at the apex, additional C20 collars for extra
support.
An interesting and rather unusual example in the region of what appears to be a
single build early C18 farmhouse, combining the traditional through passage with the
stair and a first floor landing.
