Poorton House

Poorton House is a detached farmhouse with a core dating to the 16th century, and with c.1600 ceilings. It is constructed of rubble-stone walls, incorporating a sleeper-buttress. The roof is thatched, hipped on the left-hand side and gabled on the right, with 20th-century brick stacks set into the centre ridge and right-hand gable. The farmhouse has one-and-a-half storeys and approximately four 2-light wooden casement windows, with renewed glazing-bars. There is one eyebrow dormer, featuring leaded lights. The front has two plank doors: one at the centre, leading into a 19th-century lobby-entrance, and another immediately to the right, which appears to be a 20th-century insertion with a wooden frame.

Inside, the roof is of jointed-cruck construction, with collars, probably dating to the 16th century. A ground-floor room on the left-hand side has straight-chamfered ceiling-beams, defining four major compartments. Two open fireplaces are present, one in the centre and one in the right-hand room, featuring stone jambs and chamfered lintels.
