Luckdon Farmhouse

Luckdon Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was originally a longhouse, dating from the 16th century with alterations made in the 17th century. It underwent significant modernization in the early 20th century. The building features rendered granite rubble walls and a wood shingle roof, which is swept up over the first-floor windows. The roof has a gable at the higher end and is hipped at the lower end. There are four rendered stacks: one at the gable end, two axial stacks, and a lateral stack at the front of the lower end, which slightly projects.

The original layout was that of a longhouse, consisting of a shippon, a through passage, a hall, and an inner room. The shippon was converted in the 17th century into domestic accommodation with two heated rooms on the lower side of the passage. A rear outshut was added to the higher end in the 19th or 20th century. The roofline and windows were updated during the early 20th-century modernization.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with four windows, featuring two- and three-light early 20th-century casements with diamond-pattern leaded panes on the ground floor. The central entrance is a granite doorway with a four-centred arch, hollow chamfer, and worn stops. At the lower gable end, where the ground slopes sharply, there is a central drain opening at ground level.

The interior is not accessible, but it is known to have remnants of a plank and muntin screen on the lower side of the passage, from which some planks have been removed. The hall includes a granite-framed fireplace, and it is likely that other early features, including parts of the roof structure, are still present inside.
