Hexworthy Farmhouse

Hexworthy Farmhouse is a house, formerly a farmhouse, that dates back to the 17th century, possibly with earlier origins. It features granite rubble walls and a thatched roof that is gabled to the right and hipped to the left. There are two rendered rubble stacks, one at the right gable end and one axial stack.

The current layout consists of a three-room plan, with the right-hand room heated by the end stack and the central room heated by the axial stack at its left end. The entrance leads into the central room. However, it is unlikely that this is the original arrangement, as the unheated left-hand room appears to be an addition, and the house may have been truncated at the right-hand end. There is a projection behind the right-hand room, but its purpose is unclear.

The farmhouse has two storeys and presents a low, irregular elevation built into the higher ground at the rear. The front is asymmetrical with two windows, featuring 20th-century casements. The first-floor window, located to the left of the center, is in a half dormer. To the right, there is a stone lean-to porch with a 20th-century plank door, and a rectangular projection behind the right-hand end.

Inside, the room to the left of the entrance has an open fireplace with a roughly chamfered wooden lintel and a stone oven. The cross beams are wany and insubstantial, also roughly chamfered. The roof timbers were completely replaced in the 20th century. Hexworthy was one of the 17 Ancient Tenements of the Forest of Dartmoor.
