BROADHEMPSTON

Broadhempston, a sought after village with a strong community spirit and a good mix of people, lies about six miles north of Totnes and away from main roads, giving it a rural character. It dates from Saxon times and has good local facilities including a thirteenth century church, a primary school, two pubs (the Monk's Retreat and the Coppa Dolla) and a shop/post office. Totnes is known as an Elizabethan town but has much earlier origins with a castle, a wonderful position on the River Dart and a main line railway station. It has a well-regarded community college, full range of shops, a weekly market and a wide choice of cultural facilities.

At the rear a wing projects from the right with stone steps leading to a first floor door. In the angle of the wing is a rectangular stair projection. Attached at the end of the wing is a recently converted outbuilding. Interior: in the central room, formerly the hall is an unusual C17 fireplace with corbelled wooden lintel which is ovolo-moulded with runout stops. This is supported on wooden corbels the right-hand of which also has an ovolo-moulded edge, the left- hand one has been eroded. The lower room has a chamfered cross-beam with run-out stops. The ground floor room of the wing has a chamfered cross-beam with bar and step-stops and a lateral fireplace with a chamfered lintel which has worn straight cut stops. The former inner room has C19 panelled shutters. Several C19 6-panel doors survive on the ground floor. The roof timbers appear to have been replaced in the C19 by straight principals, fairly insubstantial. The room added to the front of the lower room has a slate floor with a channel cut into it reputedly from when it was a butcher's shop and the meat was hung up above. The plain exterior of this house conceals several interior features of interest which reveal its early origins. The corbelled fireplace is a particularly unusual and interesting form for this area and suggests this was once a good quality C17 house.
