GV II
Farmhouse. Circa 1870. Local stone and flint rubble with brick dressings,
plastered on the front and white washed elsewhere; stone rubble stacks topped witn
C19 and C20 brick; slate roof.
Plan: 4-room plan farmhouse facing south. The main part, retaining the principal
rooms, is at the left (west) end, nearest the road. These rooms have a through-
passage between them which contains the main stair. The left room has a gable-end
stack and the right room has an axial service stack backing onto the service rooms.
The 2-room plan service block is lower and narrower than the main part and is set
back a little from the main block. The first room here, thought to be the kitchen,
has an axial stack backing onto the small end room, the dairy. The farmhouse is 2
storeys.
Exterior: the main block has a symmetrical 2-window front of original casements
with glazing bars, the ground floor windows under low segmental arches. Central
passage front doorway contains original part-glazed 6-panel door under a gabled hood
on shaped raking brackets. (The rear passage doorway is similar but here the hood
has cusped bargeboards). The main roof is gable-ended and along the eaves of the
main block is a timber open valance. The left (west) gable-end faces onto the road
and has cusped bargeboards.
Interior: not inspected.
Stillinghayes forms part of a group of attractive listed buildings which form the
centre of the village, most of them built by Lord Sidmouth in the C19.
