Crooks Dairy Farmhouse

Crooks Dairy Farmhouse is a disused farmhouse located in Combe Raleigh, dating from the early 17th century or earlier. The building is whitewashed and rendered, with the right gable end wall likely rebuilt in brick, and constructed from cob and stone rubble. It has a slate roof that is gabled at both ends, featuring an axial stack and a left end stack.

The farmhouse has a three-room and through passage plan, with the lower end on the right being heated, and the hall stack backing onto the passage. There is a later outshut at the right end, but details of the plan are unclear as the interior was not inspected.

The exterior is two storeys high and presents an asymmetrical four-window front, with a 19th or 20th-century plank front door leading to the passage, located to the left of centre. The ground floor has four windows and the first floor has two, all of which are 20th-century casements or fixed windows.

Although there was no access to the interior at the time of the survey in 1988, exposed carpentry was noted to survive at both ends of the house, and the inner room may be jettied into the hall. Other interesting features, including an early roof structure, may also be present. The farmhouse has group value with two ranges of shippons located at the rear.
