Plud Farmhouse

Plud Farmhouse is a farmhouse that underwent enlargement in the early 17th century, originally built in the 15th to 16th century, and was externally altered in the late 19th century. The building features roughcast over random rubble, a pantiled roof with decorative ridge tiles, and brick stacks at the gable ends and center right. It has an open hall layout, likely derivative, now consisting of three cells and a cross passage, with an outshot at the rear. The farmhouse is one and a half storeys tall and has five bays. All windows are from the late 19th century, with first-floor two-light casements in gabled dormers, three on the left and two on the right. The ground floor has three-light casements in the outer bays and one in the center, with 19th-century plank doors between them, topped with gabled, tiled porch hoods and decorative wood brackets.

Inside, the outer room on the left has a four-panel compartment ceiling with plasterwork motifs in the panels. There is a plasterwork overmantel inscribed "IPA 1622" and early 17th-century arcaded panelling featuring vineleaf sections that have been reassembled from various sources. The first floor also has a four-panelled compartment ceiling with two pairs of plasterwork motifs, a cornice frieze, and an overmantel depicting the sacrifice of Isaac, flanked by supports with the inscription "IP 1641 AP". In the late 16th century, this building was known as the Constable's House because it belonged to the constable of Stowey Castle.
