South Hay Farmhouse

South Hay Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 17th century, with a 19th-century addition and alterations made in the 20th century. The building features rendered stone rubble and cob walls, topped with a gable-ended corrugated asbestos roof. It has two brick stacks, one axial and one at the right gable end. The layout consists of a two rooms-and-through-passage plan, with a larger hall/kitchen to the left and a parlour to the right. There are 19th-century rear outshuts added to the structure. The position of the stairs was altered in the 20th century, and the eaves were raised with the roof structure replaced.

The exterior is two storeys high, with an asymmetrical four-window front featuring mid 20th-century one, two, and three-light casements. There is a metal frame three-light casement on the ground floor to the right. A 20th-century plank and glazed door is located to the right of centre behind a 20th-century conservatory/porch. The outshuts extend along the rear wall.

Inside, the hall has a wide fireplace with a chamfered and step-stopped wooden lintel and dressed stone jambs, one of which incorporates a date-stone (probably re-used) inscribed with 1720 and the initials I.R.F. There are two ovens in the hall. The right-hand room features a smaller fireplace with a chamfered and ogee-stopped wooden lintel. The ceiling beams are rough and insubstantial. The roof timbers were completely replaced approximately 20 years ago.
