Full Description

Externally Sparkhayes House looks like an early 19th century pair of cottages, but could well have origins as an earlier farmhouse. [1] This structure appears to be present on the 1841 Porlock Tithe map, where it is seen to be as long, but less complex in plan. [2] The heritage asset was assessed for inclusion on the Exmoor Local Heritage List in November 2022. It was decided to add the asset to the Local Heritage List. [3]
