Description

South Haywood Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It is constructed of rendered random rubble and cob, topped with a steeply pitched slate roof featuring tie beams that project under the eaves. The building has two storeys and three bays, with 2-light casements that have glazing bars on the first floor, and 2-light casements with plate glass on the ground floor flanking a central gabled porch that has a slate roof and a round-headed opening, leading to a 20th-century door.

Inside, the right-hand room on the ground floor contains a winder stair in the bay to the right of the fireplace. The left-hand bay likely served as a bacon curing chamber, with evidence of a blocked doorway and blocked windows elsewhere, indicating it was probably the original service end of a three-room and cross passage dwelling. The left-hand room features chamfered beams with stops. The farmhouse is reputed to be the original Stawley Manor.
