BUCKLAND MONACHORUM MILTON COMBE SX 46 NE 3/87 Brookside - GV II

Shop, originally farmhouse. C17 possibly incorporating some earlier fabric with C18 addition and C19 alterations. Rendered stone rubble walls with gable ended asbestos slate roof, barn addition has half-hipped grouted slate roof. Two rubble stacks, one projecting from right-hand gable end, an axial stack to left of centre, probably later. Original plan altered by conversion to shop, at present the original part consists of 2 main rooms, each heated by gable end stack. There may formerly have been a passage between the 2 and a further unheated room to the left of the left-hand one (the roof-line continues beyond the stack). which was superceeded by the barn extension built at right angles probably in the C18. The shop now occupies the left-hand room. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front. The 2 right-hand 1st floor windows are C19 2-light casements with small panes in gabled dormers. The 1st floor left-hand window is similar but probably C20 with no dormer. On ground floor to left is possibly C18 3-light casements with glazing bars. At centre is 3 light C19 casement with small panes and a similar 2 light window to its right. At left of centre are C20 double plank doors. Lean-to C19 porch built onto front of right hand end with C20 part-glazed door and an outshut to its right. Probably C18 barn addition projects at front of left-hand end, with half-hipped roof and very small window under the eaves. Interior: the right-hand room has insubstantial chamfered cross beams, stops indiscernible. Original fireplaces are concealed. Roof timbers inaccessible may be of interest, those in the barn are pegged and lapped - probably C18.
