Haydon'S Farmhouse And Ebford Manor Cottage

SX 98 NE WOODBURY EBFORD

1/95 Haydon's Farmhouse and Ebford - Manor Cottage - II

Farmhouse with cottage attached. Possibly late C16, but much altered and enlarged. Roughcast cob on stone footings; gabled-end slate roof. Probably formerly a 3- room, cross-passage plan house, the higher end to the left of the passage (n.b. as at present approached; the rear faces south-south-west and may well have been the front originally); the service end was extended, perhaps in the C17, the extension now forming Ebford Manor Cottage which is itself attached to the rear wing of Ebford Manor (q.v.). C20 extension to left-hand end, slightly recessed. Hall heated by rear lateral (formerly external) stack; inner room unheated; service end heated by a former end (now axial stack); cottage heated by internal front lateral stack, now engulfed by an extension under a catslide roof; all stacks with brick shafts. 2 storeys. Front: irregular 7 window range; upper floor window (one blocked) include early C19 horizontal 3 sliding sashes (one of 2-lights, 2 of 3-) and one C19 3-light casement; the others are C20. 4 casement windows to ground floor. Rear: the stack with crow-stepped off-sets; C19 and C20 casement windows. Interior: Stairs now occupy entrance hall (C20); newel stairs to rear of service end stack; roughly-chamfered cross beams to hall and service end. The cottage has 2 chamfered cross beams; fireplace with very big stone jambs. Roof trusses partially visible in 1st floor rooms, with large straight principals. On the end wall of the 1st floor are 2 recently-exposed primitive paintings (possibly C18), one showing a dog, the other a magpie and cock playing cards.
