Ffarden, Railings and Gate Front Road

Ffarden is a farmhouse that has been converted into a dwelling, originally serving as a bakery. It dates back to the late medieval period, with a ceiling added in the 16th century. The north gable end was later modified, while the southern end was rebuilt in the mid-19th century and the windows were updated in the mid-20th century. The building features roughcast over random rubble and has a Bridgwater patent tile roof. An external stone stack is located on the right gable end, with a roughcast stack to the left of the through passage.

The layout consists of an open hall house facing east, which has been ceiled to form three cells and a cross passage. The lower end has been rebuilt to accommodate the bakery, which includes a bread oven. The north-west corner of the farmhouse is linked to The Manor House. The building is two storeys high with a 1:2 bay arrangement, featuring mid-20th century plate glass windows and an entrance in the second bay on the left with a modern plank door.

Inside, there is a rendered stone wall in the through passage with two depressed 4-centred arch heads between the studs, leading to a winder stair against the rear wall. The rear of the hall stack displays a plinth and a chequer-board pattern. The hall features a depressed 4-centre arch head in the bressumer beam above the fireplace, with chamfered lintels and stone jambs. There is a plank and muntin screen leading to the inner room, which has a chamfered opening with a depressed 4-centre arch, and a plain side facing the inner room. The Ham stone chimneypiece has a continuous chamfered surround, and there are three small recesses or cupboards. The lower end of the building, which was rebuilt, contains a large bread oven made by C Donning & Co from Chard, with an addition on the rear wall.

On the upper floor, there are two pairs of jointed cruck trusses, one of which is framed, and evidence of smoke blackening can be seen in the roof space. Despite its unassuming exterior, the building contains many interesting features. The unusual junction with The Manor House is not fully understood, but it is likely that the two houses were occupied together at some point.

Additionally, there are railings and a gate at the front of the property, dating from the 19th century. These are made of cast and wrought iron, featuring urn standards, S-shaped supports, twisted uprights, double gates, and a retaining wall that returns to the south-east corner of the house.
