Tordown Farmhouse

Tordown Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 16th to 17th century. It is constructed of rendered stone and cob, topped with a concrete tiled roof and features a brick stack at the right end. The building has a unique lobby entry plan with three cells, where the stack heats the hall and the room to the left. It is two storeys high and has 19th to 20th-century windows. On the ground floor, there are three-light casements in each end room, along with a three-light and a two-light casement in the hall to the right of the late 19th-century door. A dairy outshut is located at the rear. The interior has largely remained unchanged since the 19th century, with the hall still functioning as the main cooking and living area. There are chamfered beams in the rooms at each end, and the inner room retains most of its original joists. A creamery is located on the rear wall of the hall, next to the entry to a rear stair turret that features a winder staircase. Although there is no access to the roof space, heavy protruding purlins suggest that much of the original roof structure is still intact.
