Description

Heathayne Farmhouse is a house dating from around the early 16th century, originally built as a hall house, with a floor inserted and 17th-century additions. It is constructed of stone rubble, partly rendered, and features a thatched roof with both gabled and hipped ends. The building has two storey ranges that form an L-shaped plan.

The south-west wing, which is the original part of the house, has two and four light ovolo moulded stone mullion windows on the first floor, complete with dripmoulds, and a two light moulded wood mullion window on the ground floor. There is an external stone chimney stack with set-offs, and the upper storeys of this wing have been rebuilt in brick. The doorway that once led to the screens passage on the left is now a window. Inside, there is a plank and muntin timber screen, and the hall features heavily moulded ceiling beams, a moulded stone chimneypiece, and some late 16th-century panelling. In the room above to the west, there is a moulded plaster frieze.

The north wing has a tiled roof over the central part and features a timber window, which may have been reset, in the gable, along with two ogee arched lights and an ashlar stack at the ridge. The interior of the north wing also has heavily moulded ceiling beams and jointed cruck trusses.
