Nethercott Farmhouse

Nethercott Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with minor alterations from the 19th century and a small addition from the 20th century. It is constructed of rendered, colourwashed cob and has a slate roof with gabled ends, which was formerly thatched. The building features two chimneys with brick shafts, one located at the left gable end and the other axial.

The farmhouse is a small three-room structure with a through passage. The hall is heated by a stack that backs onto the passage, while an unheated inner room may have been used as a dairy. The lower end room was originally unheated but served as a heated parlour in the 19th century. The stairs are located behind a partition at the rear of the hall. In the late 19th century, the hall was enlarged by a single-storey lean-to, and the garden front was refenestrated. A brick lean-to was added at the front of the lower end room in the late 20th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a three-window garden elevation, which is the rear of the 17th-century house. To the left, there is a late 19th or early 20th-century glazed gabled porch that leads into the through passage, and to the right, a half-glazed door leads into the dairy. The windows are regularly spaced and consist of late 19th or early 20th-century four-pane sashes and casement windows with glazing bars.

Inside, the former front door, now within the 20th-century lean-to, is a late 17th-century studded three-plank door set in an old doorframe. The hall fireplace features stone rubble jambs and a timber lintel. There are remnants of a 19th-century plank dado on the hall wall opposite the fireplace, which continues into the lean-to extension. The lower end chimney piece is from the 19th century and has a reeded surround. The inner room has not been inspected but is said to have a forked cross beam supported on a post. The interior of the house has remained largely unaltered since the late 19th century.
