Description
Riggledown Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 17th century. It has been modernised and extended around 1970. The building is constructed from plastered cob and rubble, with rubble stacks that are topped with 19th and 20th-century brick. It features a thatched roof. The house has a two-room-and-cross-passage plan and faces south-west. The left room (north-west) has a large projecting front lateral stack, while the right room has a projecting end stack. There is a circa 1970 extension to the left room. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has an irregular three-window front made of circa 1970 PVC with glazing bars. There is a roughly central door leading to the passage, which is sheltered by a slate-roofed porch added around 1970. An exposed large oak wall plate can be seen beneath the eaves to the right of the stack. The roof is half-hipped on the left side and gable-ended on the right. The interior was not available for inspection at the time of the survey, but it is believed to include 17th-century carpentry.
