Description
Scriggins is a farmhouse, now a house, likely built in the early to mid 18th century, with some minor alterations from the late 19th century. It features rendered cob with coursed stone rubble in the outshut and has a gable-ended thatched roof, which was previously slated over the outshut. The building has rendered end stacks.
The layout consists of a two-room central-entrance plan that faces what was once a farmyard to the south. It includes a central entrance and staircase hall, with an integral end stack on the left and an external end stack on the right. There is a continuous outshut at the rear, which was raised by one storey in the 19th century, as indicated by a horizontal straight joint in the masonry. There is also a short range of outbuildings from the 18th century that adjoin the front at a right angle to the left. The structure is two storeys high, with the outshut having one storey and an attic, along with one-storey outbuildings.
The exterior features a symmetrical three-bay front with late 19th-century three-light wooden casements in the original openings. The central doorway has a 19th-century boarded door framed with beaded wood and is topped by a late 20th-century gabled porch. The outbuildings to the left include a fixed six-pane window and two boarded doors. The stack on the right gable end has a projecting semi-circular slate-roofed bread oven. The rear outshut has a pair of late 20th-century eaves dormers. There are garden walls made of uncoursed stone rubble adjoining the rear of the house, comprising three lengths of wall next to the northeast corner of the house, with a gateway in the right-hand wall and a blocked wide gateway in the rear wall.
The interior has not been inspected. This house is part of a complete small farmstead group that also includes a barn and shippons.
