Impaugh Farmhouse

Impaugh Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the 15th or early 16th century. It has one storey and attics and is designed as a three-cell open hall house. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof featuring an axial chimney made of red brick. The farmhouse has 19th-century carved bargeboards with spike finials and small-pane casement dormers, also from the 19th century. There are various 19th and 20th-century casements, along with boarded entrance doors from the 19th century located at both the lobby entrance and cross-passage positions. Inside, the two-bay open hall includes one of a pair of ogee-arched service doorways and a smoke-encrusted coupled-rafter roof. The studwork features long convex-arched wind-bracing. The parlour cell was extended by one bay in the early 17th century, and both ends of the roof, which were formerly half-hipped, were altered to become gabled. The parlour also contains a 17th-century moulded ceiling.
