Black Heale Farmhouse

Black Heale Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with a 20th-century addition and alterations. It features rendered cob walls and a thatch roof that is hipped at the left end and gabled at the right. There is a projecting rendered rubble stack at the right gable end and a similar lateral stack at the rear. The original plan is not entirely clear, but currently, there are two main heated rooms, and it may have formerly included a central unheated service room. A 20th-century outshut is located at the rear.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front that has four windows. These include two- and three-light metal casements, except for the three left-hand first-floor windows, which are late 20th-century one- and two-light wood casements, and an earlier 20th-century one-light wood casement in the centre on the ground floor. To the left of centre, there is a 19th-century panelled and glazed door behind an open-fronted gabled porch. Inside, the open fireplaces have had their lintels replaced, and the roof trusses are 19th-century rough straight principals.
