'(5) JOPP'S FARM (82751953), house, with walls of rubble and ashlar and with a thatched roof, is of the early 17th century. The plan, formerly of F, has been altered by the removal of partitions and the insertion of a staircase. The N., E. and W. elevations have stone windows of three square-headed lights with recessed and hollow-chamfered surrounds; the gabled S. wall retains a small loop with two-rounded-headed openings lighting a newel stair on the W. side of the S. chimneystack. Inside, the large central fireplace has ashlar jambs and a chamfered timber bressumer; the S. fireplace is similar, but smaller. On the first floor, the S. chimneystack serve a small fireplace with a four-centred head. Several stop-chamfered beams are exposed. Plank-and-muntin martitions, now dismantled, had muntins with moulded edges. A scratching on one of the ashlar window-sills includes the date 1647.'
