Historic Environment Record entry
Listed building
This farm complex forms an imposing aspect within its rural setting. The architectural quality of its late 19th century stable range is impressive. Also of interest is the survival of the barn-type building, and the rebuilt main house with unusual paired windows, rare relieving arches, 17th century entrance arch, stepped exterior chimney and reused 17th century stone work, which all add to the impressive appearance of the this farm group.
Rebuilt in late 19th century on earlier site incorporating some 17th century remains.
Shown on the Richmond Map of 1795. Main farm house, gable on to road, outshut to rear a and stable range abutting on west side.
The nine-piece granite arched entrance with modern planked timber door dates to circa 1680.
Central entrance, double pile, service wing in outshut to rear. Heavy mahogany staircase circa 1885, four-panel doors, one late 19th century fireplace.
Old Jersey Houses
A single line entry in Vol One fails to identify that the house was rebuilt, but says that the facade 'seems newer' than the 'standard lete type round arch, with no distinctive features'.
Notes and references
- ↑ Although this farm was rebuilt by Edward Charles Malet de Carteret in the late 19th century, he was seigneur of Vinchelez de Bas as well as St Ouen and it is more likely that the farm was associated with Vinchelez de Bas Manor. Edward Malet de Carteret built another farm known as Manor Farm close to St Ouen's Manor
- ↑ Apparently no date. This stone is not recorded in the Datestone Register. The second set of initials probably represents Elizabeth de La Perrelle but we have not been able to find a corresponding marriage record
