Stantaway Farmhouse Including Stable Block Adjoining To North East

Stantaway Farmhouse, which includes a stable block adjoining to the northeast, is a house that was likely built in the 16th and 17th centuries but appears to have been rebuilt in the mid-19th century. The farmhouse is constructed from plastered stone rubble, with some cob, and features brick stacks and chimney shafts, all topped with slate roofs. The stable block is made of exposed stone rubble with brick dressings and also has a slate roof.

The farmhouse has a three-room-and-through-passage plan, facing southeast onto Fore Street. While the layout may suggest a 16th or 17th-century hall-house, there is no early fabric to confirm this. The passage is located to the left of the center and contains the stairs. The end rooms have gable end stacks, while the center room has a rear lateral stack. The stable block projects at a right angle to the rear of the right end, with the room closest to the house being domestic. There are service outshots across the rest of the rear.

The building has two storeys and features a regular but not symmetrical four-window front, with 19th and 20th-century casements that have glazing bars. The front passage doorway, located to the left of center, contains a 19th-century six-panel door, and the roof is gable-ended. The stable block also has a gable-ended roof and includes a 19th-century casement with glazing bars near the room closest to the house. Behind that, the former stables have a 19th-century plank door, a contemporary unglazed window to the left, and a hayloft loading hatch. The gable end features 20th-century garage doors, along with a 19th-century casement with glazing bars under a brick segmental arch leading to the hayloft.

The interior primarily showcases 19th and 20th-century joinery details, and the roof has not been inspected. Stantaway Farmhouse, along with its attractive group of farm buildings to the rear, is part of a notable collection of listed buildings in Otterton Village.
