Nadrid Farmhouse And Adjoining Outbuilding

The property comprises a farmhouse and adjoining outbuilding, probably dating from the early to mid-17th century, with possible earlier origins. It has undergone alterations and additions around 1900, along with further changes in the mid to late 20th century. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed stone rubble at ground floor level, with a rendered cob upper floor. The sides and rear are also rendered, with a rear wall revealing cob and some dressed stone. A circa 1900 addition uses roughly squared and coursed stone rubble with red-brick dressings. The roof is covered with scantle slates, formerly thatched over the house, with a 20th-century bitumen covering to the rear. Stone stacks, some with 19th-century brick dressings and shafts, are visible.

The original plan likely featured a three-room and cross-passage layout, facing north-west, with the lower end situated to the right. A hall is present with an axial stack backing onto a probable former cross passage to the right, which now has a gabled porch added around 1900. A former service room is beyond this, with an integral lateral stack to the rear. A former inner room is to the left, featuring an integral end stack. A continuous lean-to was likely added in the 18th century. The adjoining outbuilding dates from around 1900.

The exterior presents an asymmetrical four-window front, with a mix of 19th and 20th-century two-light wooden casements, some with small panes. A gabled stone porch was constructed around 1900, positioned off-centre to the right, between the second and third windows, and features a 20th-century glazed door and a 1900 margin-light casement with a segmental brick head. A blocked doorway is visible between the first and second windows from the left. The outbuilding has a 1900 two-light casement with small panes and boarded double doors, both under segmental brick heads.

The interior, only partly inspected, includes a left-hand ground-floor room with an open fireplace and a 19th-century bracketed mantel shelf. A photograph taken before 1900, shows the farmhouse with a thatched roof, a gabled porch in front of a now-blocked doorway, and a range of thatched farm buildings at right angles to the front of the right-hand end, including a thatched horse-engine house projecting into the farmyard - all of which were demolished around 1900.
