Unoccupied Farmhouse at Pepperdon

This unoccupied farmhouse at Pepperdon is likely from the 16th century, with alterations from the 17th century and remodeling in the 19th century. It features granite rubble walls that are rendered at the front and has a slate roof with gable ends. There is a granite rubble projecting lateral stack at the rear with a brick shaft, along with two other 19th-century brick stacks: one lateral at the front and a corner stack on the right-hand side.

The layout is somewhat obscured by 19th-century changes but originally appears to have been a three-room-and-through-passage design. A window bay was built out at the front of the hall and inner room, likely in the early 17th century, along with a lateral stack and adjoining stair projection at the rear of the hall. The inner room is unheated. In the 19th century, the passage was widened on the lower side and converted into a stair hall, while the lower end was rebuilt as a Victorian parlour. The farmhouse has been abandoned since the mid-20th century.

It has two storeys and an asymmetrical three-window front with a porch and doorway to the left of centre. The first-floor window to the left of centre is a 19th-century two-light casement with small panes. To the right of the porch, the wall projects in a shallow bay for the hall and most of the inner room. On the left side of this projection, there is a stone mullion window: a four-light window on the ground floor and a three-light window on the first floor, both with hollow chamfers to the mullions and a continuous dripcourse above. However, the two windows on the right have been replaced by 19th-century two-light casements.

At the rear, there is a projecting stack to the left of centre with a rectangular stair projection to its left. A ground floor window to the right of centre has been partially blocked. The interior is in very poor condition, with most visible features dating from the 19th-century modernization. The hall fireplace is blocked, but the end of a wooden lintel is visible. There is one stop-chamfered axial beam in the hall. Unfortunately, neither the original roof timbers nor the 17th-century stairs have survived. Currently, the house is derelict.
