Description

Dewcombe Farmhouse is a disused farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with an extension dated 1665. It underwent partial re-roofing around 1900 and has had minor later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of roughcast slate-stone and has a slate roof. It consists of two sections, with a lower addition attached to the right. The main range is two storeys high and features three 19th-century casement windows directly below the eaves, along with one window on either side of a roughly central boarded door that is sheltered by a lean-to hood. The lower range has two 19th-century casement windows on the first floor and one to the right of a boarded door on the left. There are integral end stacks, with the left stack on the main range and the right stack on the lower range, the latter featuring a semi-circular cloam oven projection at its base, both with red brick shafts.

At the rear of the main range, there is a lean-to staircase projection that may contain a garderobe in the angle with the back wall on the first floor. Inside, the left ground-floor room of the main range has two sawn-off cross beams with chamfered joist ends. There is a wooden window seat beneath the front left window. The right room also has similar cross beams and joists, and it includes a door leading to the lower section. A semi-spiral staircase is located in the lean-to projection at the rear of the left room. The roof space reveals a truncated collar truss roof. The lower section features a chamfered spine beam and joists, with wide floorboards exposed above. There is a 19th-century cast-iron range by J Hoskin of Launceston. The staircase has a right-angled turn, and the date "1665" is superscribed on the plaster of the stack on the first floor. Both sections include plant doors, some equipped with strap hinges.
