Description
Yarmleigh Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-17th century that was modernised in 1984. It features plastered cob on rubble footings and volcanic stacks, most of which are topped with 19th-century brick, and has a thatched roof. The building is a three-room-and-through passage house that faces southeast, with a service room at the left (southwest) end. There are end stacks for the service and inner rooms, a lateral stack that projects to the rear of the hall, and a gable-ended stair turret at the back of the inner room.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has an irregular six-window front with windows of various sizes installed during the 1984 modernisation. The front passage door, located to the left of centre, has an early to mid-17th-century oak frame with double ovolo moulding and scroll stops, and there is a similar frame for the rear passage door. The inner room stack features a 17th-century volcanic stone chimney shaft, while the rear stair turret includes an early to mid-17th-century oak two-light window with chamfered mullions.
Inside, the hall has an exposed early to mid-17th-century double-ovolo moulded crossbeam with scroll stops, and a similar crossbeam in the inner room with bar-runout stops. The 1984 modernisation involved the removal of some early to mid-17th-century features, including ovolo-moulded oak mullion windows with diamond-pane leaded glass from the front, oak window lintels with ovolo moulding and scroll stops, and a similarly styled door frame possibly from the hall to the inner room. There is a 20th-century cottage extension adjoining to the northeast, which is not included in the listing.
