Wolfgar

Wolfgar is a farmhouse, now a house, with origins dating back to the 16th century. It was extended and remodeled in the 17th and early 18th centuries. The building features plastered cob on rubble footings, stone stacks topped with 19th-century brick, and a thatched roof. It is a long, two-storey structure facing south. Originally, it had a three-room-and-through-passage plan, with an inner room to the east and a secondary single-room extension for service at the end. The gable-end stacks include a 20th-century stack for the inner room on the half-hipped right end, an axial hall stack backing onto the passage, and an axial stack at the lower end of the service room, which is the original left end.

The front of the building has an irregular arrangement of five windows, featuring two and three-light timber casements, some from the 19th century with original glass panes. The main door has a 20th-century gabled porch, while a secondary door to the kitchen has been blocked and replaced by a small fixed-pane window near the left end.

Inside, the features are mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries. The hall includes an oak plank-and-muntin screen with a moulded headbeam and chamfered posts with scroll stops at the upper end. There is a granite and Drewsteignton stone fireplace with a chamfered oak lintel and step stops at the lower end, and the floor is supported by a chamfered beam with step stops. The service room appears to have been remodeled in the late 17th century when a kitchen extension was added. Its fireplace has a plain oak lintel, granite sides, and a curving brick pentan. Above the chimney breast, the plaster features a crude finger-inscribed heart containing the initials TS, which is said to be associated with a destroyed late 17th-century date. The same initials appear on the hall screen dated 1751. The Silliphant family owned the house in the 17th and 18th centuries. The roof was replaced in the late 17th to early 18th centuries, and contemporary turned balusters have been reused in the 20th-century stairs.
