Lemprice Farmhouse

Lemprice Farmhouse is a house, likely dating from the 18th century, that was modernised in the mid 19th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with stone rubble or brick stacks topped with 19th-century brick and a slate roof, which was likely thatched originally.

The building follows a four-room plan and faces north. A central two-storey porch and lobby entrance is located on the side of the house, giving access to a large axial stack which served back-to-back fireplaces. The rooms on either side of the stack are the main rooms, with the room to the left (east) being the kitchen, and a small room at the left end serving as a larder and containing a stair. A parlour is to the right, and a smaller end room has its own stack and a second stair. On the first floor, there's a corridor along the front, which passes through the porch room and connects the two stairs. The house has two storeys. A small, projecting rear extension is attached to the kitchen.

The front elevation is symmetrical, featuring a 2:1:2 arrangement of 19th-century, two-light casement windows with glazing bars. The ground floor left-end window is similar but is unglazed, serving the larder. The doorway has a part-glazed 19th-century four-panel door. The porch also appears to be of the 19th century, with timber posts having chamfered edges with 17th-century-style scroll stops, moulded caps and low segmental arches between. The eaves are deep and carried around the porch, which has a hipped roof. The main roof is also hipped at each end. The rear elevation has a four-window front with casements similar to those on the front, and the parlour end breaks slightly forward.

The interior shows mainly mid-19th-century details and has been little altered since. Both stairs are plain, straight flights, and the fireplaces are blocked by 20th-century grates. The impressive size of the kitchen fireplace can still be appreciated, with its oven converted into a cupboard. The only exposed beam is located in the kitchen and has stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
