SATTERLEIGH AND WARKLEIGH Newlands Farmhouse

II

Farmhouse. Probably C16 core, entirely remodelled in mid to late C17 with C20 alterations. Painted rendered stone rubble and cob. Asbestos slate roof with gable ends. Rendered rear lateral hall stack with offsets and brick shaft to stone rubble stack at right gable end. Plan: Former 3-room and through-passage plan, lower end to left, the front and rear through-passage doorways blocked and windows inserted, the lower end truncated to form a dairy but original foundation walls and door openings survive, with new doorways made probably in the C19 direct into the hall towards the lower end and into the passage created out of the lower end of the parlour. Stair turret to rear of hall. Largely demolished former C18/C19 kitchen wing to front of lower end. 2 storeys. 5-window range. All C20 3-light mullions. Ground floor has early C20 4-light hall window to right of C19 stone rubble porch with pantiled gabled roof, semi-circular arched doorway and 4-panelled inner door, the upper panels glazed. C19 6-panelled door, the upper 3 panels glazed towards right end. Interior. Cambered chamfered timber hall fireplace lintel. Creamery niche to right. C19 wall bench to front wall. Probably C18 staircase with wide timber treads to stair turret to rear of hall. Parlour has boxed in ceiling beam. C19 ledged plank doors principally intact. C17 roof structure survives below C20 superimposed one, of pegged trusses with straight principals, halved collars and trenched purlins. No sign of smoke-blackening. In the stair turret is a small timber mullion window with trefoil-headed lights, the mullions cut out, possibly reset and suggesting the core of the house is earlier than the majority of surviving features would suggest.
