Callers Farmhouse

Caller's Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 16th century, with later alterations. It is constructed of roughcast random rubble and features a hipped and gable end roof covered with corrugated iron and slate. Originally designed as a three-room, through-passage plan house, the service end is located to the right of the passage, with a service end extension added in the 18th and 19th centuries, which now functions as a milking parlour. The higher end of the house was raised and re-roofed in the 19th century. The service end, and possibly the rest of the building, was originally open to the roof, as indicated by the presence of a smoke-blackened raised cruck truss.

The hall is heated by a possibly inserted axial stack that backs onto the passage, while the service end is heated by an axial stack that was originally positioned on end; both stacks have brick shafts. The service end is one and a half storeys tall, while the hall and inner room are now two storeys.

On the front (south-facing) exterior, the 19th-century higher end features a three-window range with two-paned horned sash windows with margin panes on the first floor. There is a similar window to the left of the porch and a 20th-century casement window to the right. The porch is glazed and has a slate roof, with its ridge considerably higher than that of the service end. The service end has two half dormers, and a range of farm buildings stands forward of it. The rear has irregular fenestration on the service end, while the remainder features a three-window range with first-floor sash windows (similar to the front) and 20th-century casement windows below.

Inside, the hall has intersecting ceiling beams that form nine panels, with composite moulding consisting of two hollow and two roll mouldings. The fireplace jambs are made from reused lintels from a now-dismantled screen door. Between the former passage and the service end is a raised cruck truss of unusual profile; the rear blade, which is scarfed near the apex, turns to form a saddle and is pegged to the front blade, with the ridge piece square set and resting on the saddle. Former purlins have been removed, but the mortices for wind braces, which are also gone, remain. The carpentry detail appears early and is smoke-blackened.
