Description
Alscott Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 17th century, with a 19th-century addition. It features plastered cob and rubble walls and a gable-ended slate roof, supported by three brick stacks—one at each end and one in the middle. The layout consists of a three-room-and-through-passage plan, with the lower end located to the right. The hall stack is positioned against the passage, while the lower and inner rooms are heated by fireplaces located at the gable ends. A 19th-century lean-to has been added along the rear wall. The exterior is two storeys high, with an asymmetrical front that has five windows, featuring early 20th-century two and three-light casements. There is a part-glazed door to the right of the centre. Inside, the hall and lower room contain fireplaces with chamfered and stopped wooden lintels, as well as similar ceiling beams.
