Description

GITTISHAM SY 19 NW

7/138 Rapshayes Farmhouse - II

Farmhouse. Probably mid/late C17. Rendered cob and stone; corrugated asbestos roof (formerly thatched) half-hipped at the left end, hipped at the right end; axial stack. Plan: Single depth plan, 3 rooms wide with a baffle entrance against the stack to right of centre, the 2 right hand rooms heated by back to back fireplaces in an axial stack. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front with a re-used C19 half-glazed front door to right of centre. 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-light C19 small pane timber casements. Interior: Unmodernized. The left hand heated room has a chamfered stopped crossbeam, the right hand room has a boxed-in crossbeam. Both fireplaces are partially blocked but earlier lintels and jambs are likely to survive. A stair rises from the right hand room (the parlour) against the rear wall. Roof: Apex not seen at time of survey (1988) but principal rafters visible upstairs appear to be straight. A traditional house, unspoiled externally and likely to have interior features disguised by modern plaster.
