Description
North Creaber Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that was thoroughly refurbished and enlarged in 1986. It is constructed from granite stone rubble and features granite stacks with granite ashlar chimney shafts, one of which was rebuilt in 1986. The original slate roof was formerly thatched.
The house has a two-room-and-through-passage plan and faces southeast. The right room, which served as the parlour, has an end stack with the site of a newel stair located at the rear. The left room is the kitchen/hall, which contains an axial stack that backs onto the passage. Rear service rooms were added in 1986. The main block of the farmhouse is two storeys high.
The exterior displays an irregular three-window front with timber casements featuring glazing bars, all of which were replaced in 1986. The doorway is roughly central and consists of an old solid oak frame with a plank door. The roof is gable-ended and steps down to the right of centre.
The interior largely reflects the extensive renovation from 1986, with the exception of a soffit-chamfered half beam across the front of the kitchen/hall chimney breast, which was not replaced. Both fireplaces are made of granite ashlar. The parlour fireplace is the latest in style, featuring a curving pentan, likely dating from the late 17th century. The kitchen/hall fireplace has a hollow-chamfered surround and includes an inserted bread oven.
North Creaber Farmhouse, along with the nearby barn and shippon, forms an attractive group.
