Tascott Farmhouse

Tascott Farmhouse is a farmhouse with origins dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, which was extended in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed from rendered stone rubble and cob, with a local stone rubble extension added around the 19th century. The roofs are made of slate and rag slate, featuring a lower roof on the right side and a higher roof on the left. A projecting stone rubble front lateral hall stack is present.

The original layout of the house likely consisted of a three-room and through passage plan, with the hall located on the higher right side, heated by the front lateral stack, and an inner room that may have been unheated. In the mid to late 19th century, the lower end of the farmhouse was demolished and replaced by an extension that likely has a two-room double depth plan.

The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys high, presenting a 2:1 window front. The taller 19th-century range on the left features a regular two-window arrangement with brick dressings, including a four-pane sash window on the left and a plank door on the right, along with two four-pane sashes on the first floor. The lower 17th-century range on the right has a two-light casement window and a dairy window to the right, with another two-light casement on the first floor. There are also 20th-century lean-to extensions at the rear.

The interior was not accessible during the survey, but it is possible that some early features remain hidden beneath later alterations, which could help to date the farmhouse more accurately.
