Perry Hall Farmhouse

Perry Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with a ceiling added in the 17th century and a wing added, along with alterations in the 18th and 20th centuries. It features roughcast over rubble, blue lias, and sandstone in the north-west wing, with thatched roofs, a hipped left roof, and brick stacks at the right gable end and to the left of the cross passage. The building has an L-plan layout, originally an open hall house, now ceiled to three cells with a cross passage. A door on the north front has been blocked, and the inner room is now a store accessed from the exterior. The main entrance is located at the junction of the wings, and the land slopes steeply away to the east.

The south front has one and a half storeys and two bays, featuring 19th and 20th century casements, two eyebrow dormers, and a full-height raking buttress made of rubble and brick to the left of a small rectangular glazed stair light below the eaves, along with a plank door. The right return has a projecting wing with a recessed entrance, which is unlit, has a blocked opening, and two beam ends projecting. The half hipped right return includes a lateral stair to the left door, while the north face of the wing has an unglazed two-light octagonal mullioned window.

The interior, which has not been seen, is said to contain a stud and panel screen in the cross passage with a half beam against the hall stack supported on brackets, and a moulded shelf above the hall fireplace with a central lateral beam resting on it. There is an arch braced true cruck with braces set behind the hall stack, and the internal span of 6.7 meters makes this the widest roof with a true cruck in Somerset, apart from Mells barn, which has a span of 6.8 meters.
