STOKEINTEIGNHEAD STOKE ROAD (west side), SX 9070-9170 Stokeinteignhead Chasers 17/408

GV II

House, partly converted to restaurant. Probably C17 or earlier, late C20 alterations. Whitewashed rendered cob and stone rubble; thatched roof, gabled at right end, hipped at left end; right end stack, rear lateral stack. Plan: Single depth plan, possibly originally a 3 room and passage plan arrangement, but the scale of late C20 interior alteration makes this impossible to prove. The left end of the range is a converted farmbuilding. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2:4 window front (former farmbuilding at left end). C20 front door to right of centre with a thatched porch at posts, canted bay window to the right, single storey lean-to addition to the front at the left. 2 and 3-light C19 or C20 timber casement windows. C20 windows to converted farmbuilding at left end. Interior: Modernized, with original partitions removed or altered on the ground floor. Some chamfered crossbeams survive but these are probably C20 replacements. Roof: Not inspected but may be of interest. In spite of the C20 alterations this building is important for group value at the end of the village.
