Curriott Farmhouse And Attached Walls

Curriott Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the 18th century and early 19th century. It is constructed from squared coursed limestone rubble with Ham Hill stone, featuring a stepped-back doorcase, a steep-pitched slate roof, stepped stone coping with moulded kneelers, and truncated brick stacks at the gable ends. The building has a two-unit plan with cupboard stairs located at the rear right, flanked by lower wings and a brick outshut at the back.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a symmetrical two-window range on the main block. This block includes flat stone arches over early 19th-century eight-over-eight-pane sash windows in forward frames, along with a plank door set in a square-headed stone architrave at the centre. Each wing has one window, with the right-hand ground-floor window being a three-light casement, where the central light is shuttered. The windows in the left-hand wing are blocked, and a lintel from a former door meets the main block. The upper courses of the wings are made of larger stones, indicating that the roof may have been raised.

Inside, there is a half-blocked open fireplace with an oak lintel in the right gable end, two wall cupboards beneath the stairs, and a raised-and-fielded eight-panel door in the left-hand room, all dating from the early 18th century. The fireplace in the left gable end features a c1860 arch-plate register grate.

The farmhouse is complemented by subsidiary features, including Ham Hill stone gate piers with moulded caps and a 20th-century gate, which are flanked by limestone rubble walls that curve back to connect with the house on the left and meet another wall attached to the house on the right.
