Description
Breach Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 17th century and has undergone some later alterations. The building is constructed from coursed and dressed Todber stone, featuring an ashlar front, with a 19th-century addition made of coursed rubble. The roof is a gabled mid-20th-century interlocking tile design, and there is a stone ridge stack that has been finished in mid-20th-century brick. The layout is T-shaped, with 19th-century lean-to extensions on the right (northwest) side and a lobby-entry leading into the main two-unit range. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a three-window range. It features timber and concrete lintels above a panelled door and mid-20th-century windows, along with a stone base for a single-storey open porch.
Inside, the property includes chamfered beams with a variety of stops, two 17th-century ground-floor fireplaces with chamfered jambs and timber bressummers, and a smoking/curing chamber. There are also some plank partitions on the first floor and elm floorboards in the attic, with purlins trenched into the principals of tie-beam trusses.
