Description

Curricomb Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, likely built on an earlier structure, with extensions dating to the early 19th century. The farmhouse is constructed of rubble stone, with the extension featuring an ashlar-fronted façade. The roof is covered with Bridgwater tiles and has coped gables, with a stack at the south end and another along the ridge at the original north end. The farmhouse is two storeys and has an attic, formerly featuring dormers. The original range has four windows, and a one-window addition is located to the left. The original range incorporates hollow-moulded recessed mullioned windows with hoodmoulds, and relieving arches over the ground floor windows. It features a three-light window on each side, with two-light windows on each floor to the left of the centre. The lower window to the left is likely an insertion, being smaller than the upper window and lacking a relieving arch. To the right of the centre is a large, projecting gabled porch bay with a coped gable and an unusual chequer pattern of red brick and ashlar on the front. This bay has an apex shield plaque, a first-floor three-light window with a hoodmould, and a ground-floor arched entry with moulded imposts, a pendant keystone, and a deep hoodmould. Graffito dates from around 1660 to 1700 are visible, the clearest being 1699. The interior features an inner flush hollow-moulded doorcase leading to a framed plank door. The south end wall has an original attic two-light window, and a stepped buttress is located on the south-east angle. A similar buttress is present on the rear wall, along with a three-window range of three-light windows with hoodmoulds and ground floor relieving arches. The early 19th-century extension to the north has three-light beaded mullion windows on each floor, and a similar window on the ground floor and attic of the north end wall. Inside, there are chamfered beams with bar stops and run-out stops.
