Fowlswick Farmhouse

Fowlswick Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late Medieval period to the 17th century. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a stone-tiled roof. The earliest section is located to the east and has a coped gable at the east end, along with an ashlar stack on the east end wall and another ashlar ridge stack at the west end. This part of the building is one-and-a-half storeys high and includes two dormer gables on the north front. The windows are recessed, ovolo-moulded stone-mullion types with hoodmoulds, featuring two lights in the dormer gables and three lights below. The central entrance has a moulded flush doorcase with the date 1679 and a hoodmould.

At the rear, there is a single dormer gable with a two-light window and a hoodmould above a three-light window, which also has a hoodmould, along with a door and a 20th-century plate glass window to the left. To the north front, there is a projecting two-storey and attic cross-wing with a coped gable and a stack at the north end. This section has ovolo-moulded mullion windows with hoodmoulds, including a three-light window on the first floor of the east side, a single light in the north end attic, and a two-light window on the first floor, as well as a small 19th-century canted bay with glazing bar sashes below.

To the right, there is another gable of similar size but slightly recessed, which also has a coped gable and a north end stack. It features a single light attic window, a two-light window on the first floor, and ground floor windows with hoodmoulds. The west end gable includes a two-light attic window and a three-light window on the first floor, both with hoodmoulds, and a ground floor lean-to with doors at the north and south ends. The rear of this range has an ashlar ridge stack, with three-light and two-light upper windows without hoods, a three-light ground floor window with a hoodmould, and a 20th-century stone-tiled glazed lean-to at the angle of the original range. The roof is swept up at the right end to meet the gable of the original range, featuring a small 12-pane attic window in a half-hipped truncated gable.

Inside, the east end range was formerly an open hall and contains two arch-braced base cruck trusses and a massive chimney breast at the east end, which is stepped seven times between the first floor and the gable. The inserted floor includes two stop-chamfered spine beams, while the west room has large chamfered and stopped spine beams. The site is recorded as a moated manor associated with Malmesbury Abbey from the 13th century.
