Heale Farmhouse

Heale Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, possibly incorporating some late medieval elements. It features plastered cob walls and a gable-ended thatch roof. The building has a projecting rubble stack with a brick shaft at the right gable end and a rubble lateral stack at the rear. The layout consists of a three-room-and-through-passage plan, with the lower end likely to the right and the hall heated by the rear lateral stack.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front that has five windows. Most of these are 19th-century two-light small-paned casements, with three 20th-century two and three-light casements on the ground floor and to the left of centre on the first floor. There is a 20th-century lean-to porch with a glazed door, behind which is a 19th-century plank and glazed door.

The interior was inaccessible at the time of the survey but is believed to contain an open fireplace with a wooden lintel and a substantial ceiling beam. The roof structure is also likely to be of interest.
