Curriton Farmhouse Including Granary And Byre To East

Curriton Farmhouse, which includes a granary and byre to the east, is a small farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with the granary and byre also from the 17th century but refurbished in the 19th century. The building features plastered cob on rubble footings, with rubble stacks topped with 20th-century brick. The farmhouse has a slate roof, while the granary and byre have corrugated iron roofs, all of which were formerly thatched.

The farmhouse is a two-room structure facing south, designed with a lobby entry plan and a large central axial stack that serves only the larger left (western) room. There is an inserted 20th-century end stack in the smaller room. To the right (east) of the farmhouse is the granary and byre, which has a hayloft above and is two storeys high. The front of the house features an irregular arrangement of three windows, which are late 19th and 20th-century casements with glazing bars, along with a wide plank door leading to the entrance lobby. The roof is half-hipped on the left side. The main stack retains its original stone rubble chimney shaft, which has a drip course and coping, but is now topped with 20th-century brick. The walls and roof of the outbuildings continue from the house.

The granary has a door to the left and a shuttered window above, with a flight of external stone steps to the right. The byre features a door with a hayloft loading hatch above, located left of centre, and a small window towards the right end. Inside the farmhouse, there are early 17th-century features, including a chamfered and late step-stopped crossbeam in the larger room, which also has some reused 17th-century oak small field panelled wainscotting. The fireplace in this room is blocked. The roof structure consists of a side-pegged jointed cruck truss. The granary has a partly-mended side-pegged jointed cruck truss, while the byre has a 20th-century first-floor structure and a 19th-century A-frame truss roof. The byre is included for its group value with the farmhouse and granary.
