Abstract: |
Lower Brownsham Farm is Grade II Listed, located in the hamlet of Brownsham in North Devon. The National Trust own the property and have identified it as in need of an historic building survey in order to record and analyse the origin, construction and development of the buildings and therefore better inform their maintenance and interpretation without compromising the buildings historic features or conservation value. Although an earlier survey exists from 1990 it was thought necessary to revisit this property as records are currently being digitised and updated. Maintenance work is scheduled that would allow unrestricted access to the property. The area appears to have been settled by the early 16th century and has continued to be so through to the current day with Higher Brownsham Farm to the NW being developed in close association. Lower Brownsham Farm and associated buildings are fine examples of a surviving late 16th/17th century farm complex with 18th century alterations. The farmhouse is of two storey cob and stone construction, adapted and extended in numerous phases between the 16th and 20th centuries. The farmstead currently comprises: the farm house, pigsty, games room, holiday cottage, stock shed, modern sheds and garage; however, this survey concentrates on the farm house only. |
