Description
Homeleigh is a house dating from around the middle of the 17th century. It is built of rendered cob walls and has a hipped thatched roof, with a brick axial stack. Originally, the house comprised two or three rooms; the central room was likely heated by the central axial stack, with a smaller, unheated room to its left. A 20th-century addition was made behind the central room, and the right-hand room has been converted into an outbuilding.
The two-storey front is asymmetrical, with a two-window arrangement. A mid to later 20th-century two-light metal frame casement window is on the first floor to the left of centre. A 19th-century two-light window with internal shutters is on the first floor to the right. On the ground floor, a 19th-century two-light fixed overlapping pane window is to the right of centre, alongside a 19th-century plank door with a wide garage opening beyond. An early 20th-century panelled and part-glazed door is located to the left of centre.
Inside, the left-hand room features chamfered and hollow step-stopped cross beams. Part of a heavy wooden lintel is visible above the fireplace. An external doorway in this room retains an original cranked head chamfered wooden doorframe. The right-hand room also has chamfered and hollow step-stopped cross beams and a similar lintel above the open fireplace. One 17th-century roof truss remains at the end of the building, consisting of straight principals with mortices for trenched purlins.
