Tump Farmhouse

Tump Farmhouse is a farmhouse and barn dating from the 18th century, constructed from whitewashed rubble stone with a single slate roof that is hipped over the west end of the barn. The building features a small one-storey and attic house with a lower east service wing and a later rear wing. The barn range is continuous and likely follows a longhouse plan. The entrance front facing the yard is double fronted, with later brickwork surrounds to the ground floor sashes and twin gabled eaves dormers that contain casement windows. There is a stable door situated under a gabled hood supported by two old oak brackets. The left-hand stack is made of brick and render, featuring stone weathercoursing. The lower addition on the east end has a door to the right and a small sash window to the left under the eaves, along with a small brick stack on the east side. There are outside stairs leading to the loft on the east end. The 19th-century rear wing is two-storey, rendered, and has 20th-century windows and a side-wall stack with set-offs.

The barn retains original ventilation slits on the left and right under the eaves, a full-height central entry, and is subdivided with 20th-century recessed infill. It has timber lintels above the window on the left, and two windows set low to the right due to the fall in the ground, with the right window originally being a door. The roof has three 20th-century skylights. The east end of the barn features pronounced lower batter to the walls and squared quoins, with a rear half-height doorway and 20th-century glazing. There is a lean-to on the left and a vent loop and window to the right.

The interior was not inspected in 1999, but in 1990, the house retained one large pegged A-frame truss that was notched and tenoned at the ridge beam, along with trenched purlins and added tie-beams. The ground floor has a massive external stack and a flagged floor with chamfered beams and checked stops. A partition on the ground floor appears to have been moved to the right, with a blocked-up opening to the barn. The barn, which has since been incorporated into the house, originally had three large pegged A-frame trusses with tie-beams, a flagged threshing floor with a cobbled upper end, and a timber storage platform over the animal house in the lower end.
