Description

Higher Yendamore Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the early 17th century, with a 19th-century addition. It features rendered cob and rubble walls and has a gable-ended asbestos slate roof. There is a rendered rubble axial stack and a brick stack at the right gable end. The layout consists of a three-room plan with a through passage, where the lower end is to the left. The hall stack backs onto the passage and has a winder stair behind it, although there is conflicting evidence regarding whether the stack is an original feature. If it is an insertion, the house may originally date to the late medieval period but was heavily remodeled in the early 17th century. The front of the hall includes a small window bay, while the inner room is heated by a gable end fireplace, and the lower room remains unheated. A small single-storey heated wing has been added to the front of the lower room.

The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with three windows, featuring two and three-light 19th-century and early to mid-20th-century casements. There is a single-storey hall window projection to the right of centre with a lean-to slate roof, and to its left, there is an open-fronted porch with a pentice roof, behind which is a 19th-century plank door. A single-storey wing projects from the left-hand end of the building.

Inside, the hall has an open fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel that rests on a curved wooden corbel. Behind the stack, there is a short section of plank and muntin screen, with chamfered muntins that have step stops, suggesting it may have once extended further. The inner room features a chamfered unstopped beam, and there is a roughly chamfered doorframe leading to the lower room. The roof consists of 17th-century trusses, likely raised crucks, with trenched purlins and collars that are halved on with dovetail joints.
