Ditchetts Farmhouse

Ditchetts Farmhouse is a farmhouse that consists of two houses under one roof, dating from the 17th century or earlier. It features rendered cob walls with some brick re-facing and a dry slate roof. There are brick stacks, one at the front and another towards the rear on the right. The building has a four-room plan, with a presumed parlour on the left, followed by the hall with a passage on its right, and the original lower end, which is now a two-room plan that was likely extended around 1700.

The exterior is two storeys high and has an overall six-window range. The higher end has a three-window range with a central doorway, while the lower end is similar but with the openings set lower. There is a gabled porch in front of the lower end.

Inside, the farmhouse has seen little alteration and retains much of its original fabric. This includes floor structures with 17th-century chamfered and stopped crossbeams in the hall, and a boxed-in crossbeam in the presumed parlour. There are simple chamfered crossbeams in the room to the right of the passage, and a circa 1700 winder stair with an octagonal newel between the lower end rooms in front of the stack. The roof structure was not inspected, but it is noted that the boxed-in feet of probable original trusses bear on the wall tops in the bedrooms. A simple late 19th-century boarded partition separates the hall from the parlour, and most wall and ceiling surfaces retain old plasterwork.
