II
Farmhouse. Probably C16. Rendered cob with stone rubble plinth; water reed thatched roof; stone end stacks including external stack to left. 2-room plan plus lean-to possible extension on the right and former probable cider loft at rear left rebuilt 1993-4 as domestic wing. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys plus lean-to on the right; 3-window range with doorway approximately central to the 2-storey part. Old planked door; 1993-4 casement windows. INTERIOR: has original smoke-blackened purlins and some rafters above an otherwise probable C18 roof structure. Room on the left has large partly-blocked C17 fireplace and a broad-chamfered oak crossbeam. Room right of entrance hall has a hollow-chamfered oak crossbeam and probable re-used head of C16 former muntin and plank screen as end beam on the right; C17 fireplace with later oven and re-used chamfered oak beam (with blocked joist sockets) as replacement lintel. Prowses Farmhouse has the superficial character and appearance of an C18 house, but as with many Devon houses, on closer examination there is evidence for a much older fabric.
