LUPPITT
ST 10 SE
10/58 Pulshayes Farmhouse
-
- II
Farmhouse. Mid - early C17, refurbished in the late C18 - early C19 and modernised
in 1980. Colour-washed local stone and flint rubble with some cob; plastered on the
front; stone rubble stacks and stone rubble chimneyshafts with sandstone ashlar
quoins (all rebuilt circa 1980); thatch roof.
Plan: 3-room lobby entrance plan house facing south and built across the hillslope.
At the left (west) end is the parlour with a gable-end stack. The centre room is
the former kitchen and it has an axial stack backing onto the parlour and the front
lobby entrance is in front of the former kitchen stack. The small unheated room at
the right (east) end (now used as a kitchen) was probably the dairy or buttery
originally. The projecting gable-end stack was inserted here in 1980. A nearby
barn contains a plaque dated 1684 which may be the date of the farmhouse. 2 storeys
with secondary outshots across the rear.
Exterior: irregular 4-window front of C20 casements with glazing bars, those on the
first floor rise a short distance into the eaves. The windows either side of the
front doorway are original Beerstone 4-light windows with ovolo-moulded mullions and
hoodmoulds. The front doorway is left of centre and contains a C20 part-glazed door.
This doorway is smaller than the original and there is still here the original
chamfered oak doorframe. The porch may be original; it has stone rubble walls and a
monopitch thatch roof. The roof is gable-ended to left and half-hipped to right.
To rear the eaves are carried down over the outshots.
Interior: the parlour fireplace, though built of sandstone ashlar in traditional
style, dates from 1980. The original crossbeam here is roughly-chamfered. The
kitchen has a large stone fireplace with chamfered oak lintel and contains an oven
(relined with C19 brick). The crossbeam here has plain chamfers. The roof was
replaced in the late C18 - early C19 and is carried on a series of A-frame trusses
with pegged and spiked lap-jointed collars and X-apexes.
