Lower Corscombe

Lower Corscombe is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 17th century with a 19th-century addition. It features rendered cob and stone rubble walls and has a gable-ended slate roof. There are axial stone rubble and rendered brick stacks at the left gable end. The layout consists of a three-room and through passage plan, with the lower end on the left and the hall stack backing onto the passage. The inner and lower room fireplaces were inserted in the 19th century, and the inner room may have been partly rebuilt during this time as its front wall projects slightly. Additionally, a rear outshut and an outbuilding extending from the left-hand end were added in the 19th century.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front featuring 20th-century small-paned three-light casements. There is a 20th-century stable-type door to the left of centre, and the right-hand side of the house projects slightly. An attached lower barn or shippon is located at the left-hand end.

Inside, the open fireplace in the hall has a chamfered wooden lintel with a granite jamb on the right, a stone and brick oven on the left side, and a floor made of slates set on edge. Above the window is a re-used chamfered beam with square mortices in its soffit. There is also a small 18th-century wall cupboard with a fielded panel door. The roof timbers are insubstantial and are likely from the 19th century.
