Description
Little Kellacott Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse located in Broadwoodwidger. It is constructed of colourwashed cob on stone rubble footings and features a thatched roof with gables at both ends. The right gable end has a projecting stack, while there is an axial stack to the left. The original layout appears to have consisted of two rooms and a through passage, with an adjoining outbuilding on the left side. The staircase is situated against the rear wall of the hall, which is heated by the right gable end stack. The lower end of the house is heated by the axial stack located on the wall opposite the passage. The first floor of the adjoining outbuilding has been converted into a bedroom, with a doorway leading into the main house. A rear left outshut under a catslide roof may have been added in the 18th or 19th century.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a three-window symmetrical range, featuring a central thatched porch supported by timber posts. The windows are regularly spaced and consist of 2-light casements from the late 19th century, with six panes per light and external shutters. The first floor window to the former outbuilding is similar, while the ground floor window to the outbuilding is a 2-light casement with two panes per light.
Inside, the through passage plan is preserved, with partition walls and one exposed beam. The hall, located on the right side, has a fireplace with plastered jambs, a brick fireback, and an ovolo-moulded 17th-century timber lintel. A timber bench is fixed to the front wall of the hall, which features exposed joists and a wide plank and batten door leading to the rear right. The staircase runs along the rear wall of the hall behind a timber partition. The lower end room has exposed joists and a large fireplace that was altered in the 20th century. The first floor contains three rooms, with some plank and batten doors opening off a first floor lobby. Some pegged roof trusses are reported to still be in place.
