Description
Scotneys Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1500, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has three bays aligned northeast to southwest and faces northwest, featuring a late 16th-century chimney stack in the middle bay. There is a single-storey extension added in the 19th century to the northeast, which includes a central chimney stack, and a 20th-century single-storey extension with a hipped roof to the southwest. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with a door located in a tiled gabled porch. On the ground floor, there are six casement windows, and three on the first floor, two of which are in gabled half-dormers, all dating from the 20th century.
Inside, the structure includes jowled posts, edge-halved and bridled scarfs in the wallplates, and plain joists of horizontal section that are jointed to chamfered axial beams with unrefined soffit tenons. The roof features crownpost construction and is mostly original, retaining nearly all of the original rafters and collars, most of the collar purlin, and one plain crownpost. The walls are entirely plastered.
