Turning Ways

Turning Ways is a house, formerly a small farmhouse, likely built in the 17th century and modernised and extended around 1975. It features plastered cob on rubble footings, with a rubble stack topped by 20th-century brick and a thatched roof, which has slate covering the 20th-century extension. The original structure was a two-room plan house facing southwest, with a rear lateral stack serving the right (southeastern) room and a one-room extension on the left (northwestern) end. The house is two storeys tall and has an overall four-window front with 20th-century casements that include glazing bars, two of which are on the extension. The original house has a door set slightly left of centre, accompanied by a 20th-century slate-roofed and gabled porch featuring 19th-century Gothick trefoil-headed windows on each side. Inside, the carpentry detail is plain, and the larger right end room includes a plain chamfered crossbeam and a large rubble fireplace with a plain oak lintel and a side oven that projects externally to the rear. The roof has not been inspected.
