Staddon Farmhouse

Staddon Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the 17th century, with possible earlier origins. It features rendered cob walls and a thatched roof that is hipped at the left end and gabled at the front of the right-hand wing. There is a 20th-century brick stack at the left gable end and a projecting rendered rubble lateral stack at the front. The layout consists of a three-room and through passage plan, with the lower room on the left heated by a gable end fireplace and the hall heated from the front lateral stack. An unheated wing, built in the late 17th or 18th century, extends from the front of the inner room. The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical two-window front featuring 20th-century casements, all three-light except for the central first-floor window, which is two-light. Below this window, there is a 19th-century panelled door leading to the passage, and a 20th-century plank door at the left end. The right-hand wing projects from the end of the farmhouse. The interior was inaccessible during the survey but is likely to contain early features such as beams, open fireplaces, and possibly medieval roof trusses.
