Rodmore Farmhouse

Rodmore Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse located in St Briavels. It features pebble-dash on rubble with a plain tile roof, gable stacks, and a large projecting eaves stack at the back next to a stair turret. The building is a long, lofty structure with a stair turret that projects off-centre at the back. The front of the farmhouse has 2½ storeys and is arranged with one window on the ground floor, three on the first floor, and one in the roof space. A deep coved cornice rises above a central open pediment that is flush with the main wall. This pediment contains a wooden bulls-eye opening and two small gabled dormers. Most of the windows on this side have been replaced with 20th-century casements, and there is a central 20th-century door set in an 18th-century moulded stone architrave, which features a pulvinated and decorated frieze, along with flat consoles over pilaster strips and a 20th-century pedimented hood. The back of the farmhouse has 19th-century two-light casements with horizontal bars, including those in the stair turret. The right gable facing the road has four small single-light casements.

Inside, there is a 17th-century painted staircase with turned balusters, square newels, a deep heavy string, and a heavy moulded handrail, all around a very tight well that extends through two storeys, with the upper flight being wider than the lower. The steep roof has four bays supported by two heavy purlins, and there are stud partitions. However, the interior appears to have been largely renewed, and no original fireplaces are evident.
