The Old Farmhouse

The Old Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, which was refenestrated in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of roughcast over rubble with a thatched roof, and has rebuilt brick stacks. The left gable end and the gable end to the right of the through passage were rebuilt in the 19th century, and the right gable end dates to the 18th century. The farmhouse has an 'L' shape, comprising a three-cell plan with a cross passage facing south, and a contemporaneous kitchen wing in the north-west corner.

The building is two storeys high and has a 1:3 bay arrangement. The first floor has leaded wooden casements: a four-light window on the left, two three-light windows and one two-light window on the right. The ground floor has 20th-century windows flanking the entrance, with French windows in the end bay to the right. The entrance is located between the first and second bays on the left and features a six-panel door with raised and fielded panels, beneath a gabled thatched porch. The rear elevation is set into a hillside and has a north-west extension, which features a parallel range with a gabled roof.

The interior was not inspected, but it is believed that the partition between the hall and inner room has been removed. Chamfered beams are visible only in the kitchen and incorporate scroll stops. A bread oven with an iron door, made by Wightman of Chard, is present. Straight stairs rise in the corner. A west gable end bedroom on the first floor is said to have a blocked fireplace with a moulded plasterwork panel above and a two-bay arcade in the early 17th-century style. The roof is a five-bay collar beam roof with a single row of purlins, and incorporates some reused medieval roof timber, possibly from an earlier house on the site.
