Handon Pen

HATHERLEIGH SS 50 SW 6/11 Handon Pen - - II House. Probably circa mid C17 but possibly with earlier origins. Plastered cob and rubble walls. Gable ended thatch roof. Brick stack at each gable end. Plan: not entirely clear due to lack of internal access but probably 2 rooms, possibly with small unheated service room at centre. Newel stair projection behind right-hand room. Small outbuilding at left-hand end which is either integral or slightly later and may have been a stable. Exterior: 2 storeys. Regular 3-window front of circa early C20 3-light casements, 2-light at centre on first floor. The central part projects slightly with a C20 plank door. Outbuilding at left-hand end has door with loading hatch above. Interior inaccessible at time of survey but is believed to contain heavy ceiling beams and open fireplaces. Early roof timbers may also survive.
