Huccaby Farmhouse

Huccaby Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was likely originally a longhouse, dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It underwent alterations and extensions in the 19th century. The building features granite rubble walls and a slate roof that is lower over the left-hand end, gabled to the right, and hipped to the left. There are two granite rubble stacks with dripstones: one axial stack with a granite cap and another at the right gable end.

The original plan likely included a shippon at the left lower end, with a passage to its right and a hall and inner room beyond. The hall stack backs onto the passage, and there is a gable end fireplace in the inner room. In the early 19th century, the shippon was converted into domestic accommodation, the passage was blocked at the front, and the higher end was re-fronted with a central entrance passage and stairs at the rear. A rear outshut was added in the 19th century, possibly at the same time.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front, featuring the former shippon to the left. The windows on the right-hand side of the house are symmetrically placed. The ground floor has 20th-century two-light casements, a central 19th-century porch, and a plank door. The ground floor windows have flat granite arches above. The left-hand shippon part has a similar first-floor window in a half dormer, with a 19th-century round-headed window below.

Inside, the hall has chamfered cross-beams, and there is a plain 19th-century framed staircase. The inner room and the room above have simple 19th-century panelling. The roof over the shippon end was completely replaced in the later 20th century, and the feet of the principal rafters are not visible in the first floor of the house, suggesting that the roof is likely from the 19th or 20th century.
