'(28) Old Dairy House comprises a late 16th or early 17th-century farmhouse of one storey and attics with a late 17th-century S. addition of two storeys and attics. In 1837 'some cottages which adjoined each other were made into a farmhouse for Briantspuddle East Farm' (diary of James Frampton II). The first has a central chimney, hall and lobby. The second, which has a symmetrical elevation, contains a parlour and one unheated room, perhaps a pantry. The S. gable wall and its chimney were rebuilt in the late 18th century, when a straight flight of stairs was inserted adjacent to the pantry. A Barn, Monument (42), formerly belonged to this farm.'
