Cholditch Farmhouse

Cholditch Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of rendered cob on stone rubble footings, with the front whitewashed. The roof is made of corrugated asbestos over thatch, hipped at the left end and gabled at the right end. There is a stone axial stack and a right end stack featuring a stone chimney shaft with brick dressing. The layout follows a 17th-century three-room and through passage plan, with the hall stack backing onto the passage. It is likely that the hall also served as a kitchen since the lower end does not seem to have been heated. The inner room may have originally been unheated as well, with the current gable end stack added in the late 19th century.

A two-storey projecting bay under a catslide was added to the hall, probably in the 18th century when the higher end roof trusses were replaced and the house was refenestrated. In the 20th century, the rear of the through passage was screened off, and the lower end was converted into a kitchen heated by a fireplace at the rear of the hall stack. Inside, the hall features a stair along the rear wall behind a timber partition, while the lower end has a servants' stair at the front.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical three-window front, with a two-storey bay to the right of the axial stack and a plank and batten front door to the left. The windows are mostly two-light casements with glazing bars; the two right-hand windows may date from the 18th century, while the first-floor window in the bay is an 18th-century sliding sash, with a similar sash on the rear elevation. Other windows on the front are 19th and 20th-century replacements.

Inside, there is a 20th-century grate in the hall, and the timber lintel of an earlier fireplace is visible in a cupboard, with earlier jambs possibly hidden behind plaster. The hall also contains a 19th-century china cupboard and an unusual squint into the bay. The roof features 18th-century pegged trusses between the stack and 20th-century trusses over the lower end. This farmhouse remains relatively unspoiled and is typical of the region. It is shown as "Cholch" on the Ordnance Survey map.
