Description
West Raddon Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the 19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble and has an asbestos slate roof that is gabled at both ends, which was previously thatched. The building features two likely 17th-century stacks, one axial stack located in the passage and another at the right gable end, along with two brick chimneys from the 19th or 20th century.
The farmhouse has a three-room layout with a through passage and a two-storey porch. The higher end has been largely rebuilt, and its roof raised, likely during the 19th century. There is a two-storey addition with a catslide roof on the front to the right, as well as a single-storey lean-to situated between this addition and the porch, both probably dating from the 19th century. The building stands at two storeys and has an irregular six-window front. The lower end features a rough stone plinth and shows signs of significant rebuilding.
The gabled two-storey porch has a 20th-century front door set beneath a wider timber lintel, with the original opening reduced in size. Above the front door is a three-light timber ovolo-moulded mullioned window with diagonal leaded panes and a slate drip ledge. There is a similar two-light window on the ground floor left side of the porch. The lower end has only one ground floor window, which is a three-light 17th-century timber ovolo-moulded mullioned window with diagonal leaded panes. The windows in the higher end are a mix of 19th and 20th-century casements, two of which have square-leaded panes. A second entrance is located on the front to the left of the two-storey addition, featuring a reused 17th-century granite sill as a lintel. There is also a rear door opposite the porch that remains intact.
The interior was inspected only in the higher end, where the fireplaces date from the 19th and 20th centuries and may conceal earlier features. The higher end rooms have single chamfered cross beams, and there is a 19th-century staircase with stick balusters. The roof space has not been inspected.
Historically, the Domesday Manor of Ratdona was held by Nigel of Totnes and was owned by Osulf during the reign of King Edward. In 1243, it was held by William de Cantilupe in the honour of Totton.
