Ladywell Farmhouse

Ladywell Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with some brickwork from the 19th and 20th centuries, and features stone and brick stacks topped with a thatched roof. The building has been significantly altered and consists of a three-room layout with a through passage, and an inner room located to the north-west of the front, which faces south-west. There is a rear block added in the 18th or 19th century behind the hall and inner room.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a regular four-window front featuring late 19th century three-light wooden casements with glazing bars. To the right, there is a passage door with a 20th-century trellis porch, and a large projecting lateral stack made of volcanic ashlar with a high plastered chimney shaft, topped with 19th-century brick, located to the left of centre. The right end gable and chimney were rebuilt in brick around 1980.

At the rear, the first-floor service chamber includes an 18th-century three-light pine flat-faced mullion window with a central iron casement and early leaded glass, with each light containing 25 rectangular panes. The interior primarily reflects the mid to late 19th-century modernization, with all fireplaces blocked and most partitions clad. The passage-hall partition features a wide elliptical arch with stucco head corbels, and similar corbels on the outer walls indicate the former position of the hall-inner room partition. Additionally, there is a raised oak plank-and-muntin screen with a shoulder-headed door on the lower side of the passage. The roof is supported by mid to late 19th-century king post trusses.
