Description

Streamford is a simple vernacular two-storey building with a three-window front, likely dating from the 18th century but with earlier origins and later additions. It features a higher cross wing at the right rear, which has whitewashed lean-tos at the back and on the left gable.

The building has whitewashed rubble on No 1 and cement render on No 2, with rendered chimney stacks that have been heightened in brick. The slate roof has plain bargeboards and wide raised eaves. The first floor has plain reveals and timber casements. No 1 has a later splayed bay with a panelled and half-glazed door topped by a flat timber hood on arched brackets, while No 2 has a projecting porch. The two-window cross wing includes a projecting porch with a pitched roof and a casement window featuring a cambered brick head. There is a vertical joint in the centre, indicating the depth of the original house.

Inside, the building has exposed timber-studded cross walls from the 17th or early 18th century box-frame construction. The main joists have plain chamfers, and there are stone fireplaces with timber lintels and an exposed chimney breast on the upper floor. The ground floor room in the cross wing contains four-door panelled fitted cupboards.
