Description

This is an early 18th-century detached farmhouse located in Stoke Knapp, Stoke Abbott. The farmhouse is built of dressed stone, with a slate roof featuring stone gable-copings. It has brick stacks at both the left and right-hand gables, which were renewed in the 20th century. The two-storey farmhouse has three windows, each with 3-light and 2-light stone mullions, the mullions being a beaded square section type with continuous architraves and cills. The windows contain iron casements and fixed lights. A central front door has square stone jambs and an 18th-century plank door, sheltered by a stone porch with a hipped slate roof. A rubble-stone outshut is located at the left-hand gable end, featuring a stone gable-coping and a pentice slate roof, with a plank door on its end wall, formerly a dairy. Attached to the front are area walls constructed of chert rubble at the base, with rubble stone above, topped with lias coping stones. There are no gate piers, only a gap in the walls.
