Description
Honeychurch is a house dating from the early 17th century, possibly with earlier origins. It features plastered cob walls and a gable-ended roof that is thatched on one side and covered with corrugated iron on the other. The building has three brick stacks: one at each end and one in the middle. The layout consists of a three-room-and-through-passage plan, with the lower end located to the left and the hall stack positioned at the higher end. The inner and lower rooms are heated by fireplaces located at the gable ends.
In the 19th century, the house was subdivided into two cottages but was later converted back into a single dwelling. The exterior presents an asymmetrical front with four windows, featuring early 20th-century three-light casements. There is a 20th-century plank door to the left of the center and double doors to the right of the center. Inside, the hall includes an open fireplace with a chamfered and hollow step-stopped wooden lintel, along with a cloam oven. The roof features insubstantial straight trusses, likely from the 18th or 19th century, resting on the wall-plate.
