Details
BRENDON CHERITON SS 74 NW 3/2 South Cheriton Farmhouse 26.4.77 GV II Farmhouse. Early to mid C17 with mid and late C19 additions and late C20 alterations. Rendered coursed rubble stone with additions in uncoursed rubble. Gable-ended slate roof with bitumen covering. Plan and development: probable 2-room plan aligned approximately east-west and facing north, with slate-hung axial stacks to left of each room. C19 wing at right angles to rear of left-hand end. Alternatively possibly a former 3-room and cross- passage plan consisting of hall with axial stack backing on to former cross (or through) passage (with inserted staircase), now demolished inner room to right (west) and service end to left (east) with later porch to front (north). 2 storeys. Exterior: main front to north. Asymmetrical 5-window front; C19 2-light wooden casements with 3-light wooden casements to left-hand addition. Central C20 flat- roofed semi-dormer with 2-light wooden casement and pairs of flanking pigeon nesting holes below eaves; 2 flat-roofed semi dormers to C19 addition at left too. Central late C20 five-panelled door under segmental head with incised rendered voussoirs, and partly-rendered gabled stone porch with pointed-arched entrance. Probably C19 1-storey wing projecting at right angles to right of porch, formerly linking with farmbuildings but converted to domestic use in late C20. Rear: possible former cross-passage entrance with C20 glazed door. Late C19 or C20 wing projecting at right angles to right, with external lateral stone stack. Interior: right-hand ground floor room has 3 C17 chamfered cross beams with scroll stops and open fireplace. Central ground-floor room altered in late C20, with C20 joists, rebuilt open fireplace and walls stripped of plaster. Probably C17 roof trusses but roof space not inspected. C20 alterations have reduced some of the evidence for the development of the plan of this house.
