Ringmore Farm Ringmore Farmhouse

Ringmore Farmhouse is a late medieval farmhouse that has been remodeled in the 17th century. It is now used as a house. The building features limewashed cob and has a thatched roof that is hipped to the left, with a stack located to the right. The roof steps down to the right over what was previously the service end. The layout consists of a three-room through-passage plan with a central hall that was originally open to the roof, and a later bay added to the left. The stack and ceilings were inserted in the 17th century.

The exterior of the farmhouse has two storeys and a four-window range. It features 19th-century three-light casement windows at the eaves level, and two and three-light windows on the ground floor. There is a 19th-century six-panel door, which is glazed at the top, positioned to the right of centre beneath a 20th-century thatched porch.

Inside, part of a plank and muntin screen is located to the rear left of the through passage, which includes a heavy planked oak door in a shoulder-arched frame. The room to the left features an ovolo-moulded crossbeam and an open fire with a timber lintel on the rear wall. In the rear left corner, there is a door made of wide planks leading to a winding staircase. Another door, also made of two wide planks, leads to an inner room that has been divided into two small rooms, with a beam between them that may be a bressummer for a jettied upper room.

The roof of the farmhouse shows three distinct stages of construction. A small pegged steep-pitched truss, truncated above a high collar, stands unconnected in the roof space. Above it is a smoke-blackened roof supported by four collar trusses, with a substantial ridge resting on a rough upright spur attached to the collar of a truss on the right side of the later roof. A cob wall at the left end reaches to the ridge and divides into the roof space, indicating that this was formerly the end wall. Broken mortice joints from former collars, likely removed to raise the ceiling, are visible. An outbuilding to the right has been converted into a dwelling but is not included in this listing. The deeds for the property are held by a former resident.
