and boundary wall
(Formerly Listed as:
LYNTON
STOCK ROAD
South Stock)

II

Farmhouse with yard boundary wall and piggery. Late C17 or
early C18, much modified. Whitewashed rubble, some
slatehanging, slurried slate roof. The farmhouse is on an
L-plan, with a cross passage flanked by rooms with front
lateral stacks and a rear kitchen wing; transverse rear
staircase.
2 storeys. The entrance wing has 2 large slate-hung external
eaves stacks. Windows have almost all been replaced in the
late C20, but in early openings. On the entrance side is one
window, and a central plank door on strap hinges in a late C20
brick porch; there are 3 dove holes. The 4-window return wing,
facing the yard, has four 2-light above 2 at the ground floor,
with an area of slatehanging to the upper storey. This wing
has a cropped gable stack or ventilator, and seems likely to
have been added to the original range. The inner faces of the
wings have various casements, and a plank door to the cross
passage, and the N gable is plain.
INTERIOR: part of the ground floor only was accessible. Most
original detail has been removed or modified; the cross
passage is in concrete, and fireplaces include one from the
mid C19, with tiles. No beams are visible. There are some
plank or panelled doors.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: on the entrance side is an opening to the
yard, then a rubble wall approx 1m high to a rounded top,
which returns to the small gabled piggery running parallel
with the return wing. This has a door in each gable end, and a
full height plank door in the centre of the long side. The
wall then continues opposite the S wing, and returns to it at
the gable end.
