ASHREIGNEY Fox Meadow

II

Small house. Circa late C17 with C18 and C19 additions, altered in C20. Plastered cob walls. Hipped thatch roof. Brick axial stack and one at rear right-hand corner. Plan: originally 2-room plan, each room heated by an end stack although the corner position of that to the right-hand room suggests it may be an insertion. The left- hand end of the house was formerly an outbuilding and is likely either to be integral or an C18 addition. C19 outshut built behind left-hand end. In the C20 the partition between the original 2 rooms was removed. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 5-window front. The 4 right-hand windows on the first floor and 2 on the ground floor to the right are Victorian 2-light casements with diamond leaded panes. To the left on the first floor is a C20 2-light small- paned casement. Four later C20 1 and 2-light casements to left-hand side of front which was formerly an outbuilding. 2 slate doorhoods at centre and right of centre with C20 plank doors below and C20 glazed door to left of centre. At the left-hand end of the front is a full-height recess infilled with C20 casements. C19 outbuilding outshut behind left-hand end. Interior: the left-hand fireplace has a rough wooden lintel, the right-hand fireplace has a chamfered wooden lintel and a cloam oven. Rough fairly insubstantial axial beams. The roof trusses are rough insubstantial straight principals, probably late C18 or C19.
