Description

CULLOMPTON LANGFORD ST OO SW 8/126 - Nos. 2 and 3 GV II A pair of dwellings, formerly a single house. Early C16, substantially remodelled in C17. Cob, with some brick patching, stone plinth, plastered under gabled-end shingle roof, the rear wing half-hipped. Originally a 3-room, through-passage plan. End stacks; axial stack backing onto passage and heating hall; all with brick shafts. 2 storeys. Front: 4-window range; all casement windows C19 or C20, timber or metal framed; similarly to rear and rear wing; evidence of rear stair turret. Interior: (No.2 only inspected, i.e. the lower end to right of passage); plank-and- muntin screen to lower end of passage, muntins chamfered, with shouldered-arch doorway; blocked doorway to right of axial stack (i.e. formerly giving access into hall) with lintels chamfered and pegged into bressumer; cross beam to lower end room, chamfered with run-out stops; 2 rear windows exposed internally; the C17 front door survives in situ (although succeeded by a C20 outer door), planked with large spear hinges; the medieval central hearth apparently survives beneath present floor covering; large chamfered end fireplace. One jointed cruck visible, apex morticed and side-pegged, trenched purlins, smoke-blackened. The lower-end appears to be jettied out into hall (now No.2 and unoccupied at time of resurvey visit, 1985), the bressumer supported by small brackets. Cross beams; fireplace lintel massive and appears to be unchamfered.
