Description

Fellingscott Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 17th century, with alterations and an addition from the 18th century, as well as a late 19th-century addition and remodelling. The building is constructed of coursed rubblestone, rendered at the rear, with red brick window dressings on the late 19th-century section. It features a two-span slate roof that runs from front to back with gabled ends.

The farmhouse has a two-room plan that is aligned approximately southeast to northwest, with the former main front facing northeast. The left-hand room has a former lateral stack at the front, which has been replaced by a rendered ridge stack, while the right-hand room has a truncated corner stack at the front. An 18th-century one-room addition is located at the rear of the left-hand room. A range was added to the front in the late 19th century, which has a two-room plan with a central entrance hall, and this likely involved alterations to the roof alignment. The building is two storeys high.

The symmetrical northeast front has three bays and features late 19th-century segmental-headed four-pane sash windows, along with a central glazed door that has an overlight and a lean-to porch. There are two gables with pierced barge boards. The southeast front has three windows, primarily 19th-century three- and four-light wooden casements with wooden lintels. To the right, there is a half-glazed door, and a partly-blocked doorway in the centre, which has been converted into a window, both with wooden lintels.

Inside, the right-hand central ground-floor room has a chamfered spine beam with scroll stops. The left-hand central ground-floor room features a pair of chamfered spine beams and a blocked old fireplace. There is an old plank door between the 17th-century rooms, which has wrought-iron strap hinges and a pegged frame with mason's mitred joints. A late 18th-century dog-leg staircase is located in the 18th-century rear wing. The late 19th-century range at the front includes contemporary joinery. The roof space was not inspected, but the section above the left-hand 17th-century rooms appears to have been rebuilt in the 19th century.
