Farmbuilding Used As Outbuilding About 12 Metres South Of Jenns Thurdon Farmhouse

This building is an outbuilding, formerly a farmhouse, located about 12 metres south of Jenns Thurdon Farmhouse. It dates from the late 17th century to the 18th century and consists of two sections. The structure is partly plastered and partly rendered, with the house to the right of the porch made of cob on a stone plinth at the rear, and stone up to the first floor level at the front, with cob above. To the left of the porch, the house is also cob on a low stone plinth. The building has a galvanised iron roof, which was formerly thatched, and features an axial brick chimney on a stone stack. The roof is hipped at the left end and gabled at the right end.

The layout includes a passage with a stair, with a former hall to the right of the passage. There is evidence of rebuilding to the left of the passage, and the passage may have been widened to incorporate the stair. The building is two storeys high and has a three-window range. The porch is slightly off-centre and has a sloping slate roof. The former hall features a three-light timber casement window with timber mullions and ten leaded panes per light. There is a second entrance to the left of the porch leading into a room now used as a store. The first floor has three openings, with one to the left of the stack retaining some leaded panes.

Inside, the hall has a large fireplace with a replaced fireplace beam and a cloam oven, along with one cross beam and remains of a slate floor. The roof at the right end has two raised crucks. The ground floor room at the rear left, which was formerly a dairy, contains slate-topped benches. The trusses to the left of the porch over the lower end are halved and pegged. The flooring in the through passage is made of irregular stone. The ground floor lower room at the rear left has partition walls of stud with cob infill, and there are pigeon holes under the eaves at the front.
