Lanow Farmhouse (East)

SX 08 SW ST KEW 2/242 Lanow Farmhouse (east) - GV II Farmhouse. Circa late C16 or early C17, possibly with earlier origins. Stone rubble and cob. Slate roof with gable end on left, hipped end on right and gable end to rear wing on right. Adjoining store on left hand gable end with hipped end and rear right hand gable end continued with outbuildings which are not included. Lower rear wing on left with scantle slate roof and gable end. Brick axial stack, originally gable end stack heating left hand room, brick axial stack heating central room of front range and brick front lateral stack on right. Brick stack on gable end of rear right hand wing and projecting stone rubble side lateral stack heating rear left hand wing. Plan: The interior was remodelled in the C19 and C20 altering the plan and covering any early features. Consequently the original arrangement is uncertain. The circa late C16 front range has a three room and through passage plan with the left hand room heated by a gable end stack, the central room probably the hall by an axial stack and the inner room by a front lateral stack. The contemporary wing to the rear of the right hand room was heated by a gable end stack. To the rear of the through passage is a wing of one room plan, heated by a projecting side lateral stack. This wing may be contemporary or even possibly earlier becoming a kitchen wing in the late C16 or early C17. A stair projection, containing a C19 stair is positioned between this kitchen wing and the rear right hand wing, to the rear of the hall. Two storeys. Asymmetrical 1:3 window front. Store on left with C19 2-light casement on ground floor and C20 window above.
