Honey Hurst Farmhouse And Attached Barn

Honey Hurst Farmhouse and the attached barn is a house that likely dates back to the 16th century and originally featured a three-bay open hall, with floors added in the 17th century. The building is constructed from coursed limestone and ironstone rubble, topped with a slate roof and brick stacks. The left side has been rebuilt in brick, as has part of the right bay at the rear. The layout follows a through-passage plan and the house has two storeys with three bays.

A 20th-century brick porch is located in the second bay from the right, alongside a 20th-century doorway with a wooden lintel. To the right, there is a 20th-century sash window with a wooden lintel, while the left side features a three-light casement window and a two-light casement window, both with wooden lintels. The first floor has two-light casement windows, also with wooden lintels. The left gable is coped and has kneelers.

The barn extension on the right side was added in the 19th century and features a datestone from 1840 with the initials W.H. It is made of coursed ironstone rubble, has a slate roof, and consists of one storey with a loft and three bays. The left bay has a doorway with a wooden lintel and a plank door, while the right bay contains a one-light window with a wooden lintel and a plank stable door. There is a 12-pane window with a wooden lintel on the first floor and a brick dentil cornice.

Inside the farmhouse, there are stop-chamfered spine beams and joists supported by moulded wall plates in two ground floor rooms. A stud partition to the right of the entrance leads to the sitting room, which likely had a second doorway at the opposite end, indicated by cut timber for hinges. The sitting room features an open fireplace with a moulded timber bressumer and a bread oven, while there is also an open fireplace in the hall. The roof structure is partly exposed on the first floor, showcasing original tie beams, rafters, and purlins, although the loft was not inspected. The 17th-century service quarters were likely the current sitting room, positioned to the right of the screens partition, with the hall and parlour to the left.
