Cottage. C17 with C19 alterations. A mixture of cob, Heavitree stone and brick,
all rendered; thatched roof, half-hipped to the right, and adjoining another later
cottage to the left. Formerly a 2-room cottage, the right-hand room heated by a
rear internal lateral stack (rebuilt in brick in the C19 but probably replacing a
C17 stack); the left-hand room heated by an axial stack, originally an end stack.
The building has been extended to the left, and there is a low C20 leanto at the
rear. 2 storeys.
Front: 3-window range; 2-light casement windows to first floor; planked door
under tiled canopy flanked by 3-light C19 casement windows with depressed window
arches. A third, and smaller, casement window to the extreme right.
Right-hand elevations with tall Heavitree stone plinth, otherwise all brick, with
two 2-light casement windows, and a tiled leanto.
Rear with 2 small 2-light casement windows to first floor, lintels at eaves level;
the rest obscured by leanto with C20 casements.
Interior not inspected. Dr Alcock notes a chamfered ceiling beam with scroll stop,
