Hexworthy

House, now divided, dating from circa 1700, incorporating a 17th-century building and with later additions and alterations. The construction is of roughly coursed slate-stone, rendered with rusticated quoins to the front, with slate hanging to the right gable end. The rear is painted on the ground floor with slate hanging to the first floor. The building has slate roofs and is arranged in three sections. The main range features a five-window front with horned 2-paned sashes, and labels above each window, including over the former central doorway. A central pedimented gable contains an oeil-de-boeuf (circular window) with a hoodmould, flanked by hip-roofed dormers with glazing bar sashes in the roof slope. An integral end stack is on the left, and a prominent slate-hung integral lateral stack is on the rear to the right. The right section has two horned 2-paned sashes on each floor, with those on the first floor directly below the eaves, and those on the ground floor featuring projecting keystones. A tall, integral rubblestone end stack is also present. The low left range has a pyramidal-capped, louvred square belfry to its gable end. The rear of the house includes a slate-hung gabled staircase projection at a right angle to the left of the right range, featuring a Victorian staircase window. The main range has three glazing bar sashes on the first floor, a 16-paned glazing bar sash to the left on the ground floor, a central 19th-century half-glazed door with margin lights, a rectangular barred overlight, and a narrow casement immediately to the left; and a tripartite glazing bar sash to the right. A 19th-century single-storey service range, attached to the rear of the left range, incorporates a wall with a 4-centred granite arch leading to a courtyard, inscribed "1656" to the spandrels. Inside the main range is an early 18th-century open-well staircase with barleysugar balusters to an open string, square newels, and a moulded handrail. Plaster cornices and dado panelling are present in the large front rooms, and panelled window shutters are throughout. The roof space of the right range has curved principals below the raising of the eaves.
