Abstract: |
A rapid appraisla was made of the building in order to inform a planning decision regarding proposed demolition. The earliest datable features of the building which are visible today date from around the mid 18th century. It is possible that earlier fabric survives beneath the external render and internal plaster, and that the external projection of former ovens beside fireplaces at each gable end also might belong to an earlier phase, but there are no strong indications to believe so. Rather, the building's layout and present roof suggest a construction date in the 18th century. The interior underwent a substantial refurbishment in the 20th century when most internal partitions and doors were replaced, and the first-floor ceiling was raised. Since then, the windows have been replaced with plastic ones (2004), and the two fireplaces substantially rebuilt, the rebuilding covering over or removing the two ovens. The ceiling of the most easterly ground-floor room has also been removed to reveal the joists. These recent alterations have left behind only a few surviving features from the 18th-century phase, the roof being the best preserved amongst them. |
