Description

SS 90 NW CADELEIGH LITTLE SILVER
5/61 Payne Cottage
-
GV II
Cottage. Circa early C18, some rebuilding of the C19, eaves raised in the 1970s.
Colourwashed rendered cob on stone rubble footings, walls raised using brick;
thatched roof with plain ridge, gabled at left end, hipped at right end ; left end
stack, projecting rear right lateral stack.
Plan: 2 room and through passage plan main range ; an outbuilding at right angles to
the main range at the rear left has been converted to a kitchen. A change in the
plane of the front wall suggests that there may have been some rebuilding at the
right end. There are 2 staircases ; one against the rear left wall with access from
the passage, the other, rising from the right hand room is parallel to the partition
wall of the passage. The building is said to have been used as 2 cottages at one
time, the left hand cottage consisting of the present smaller room with a doorway on
the rear wall (now blocked) is said to have had a small detached kitchen.
2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front with an approximately central plank front
door and 2-light casements, 4 panes per light. Small 4-pane fixed window to right of
front door lights the through passage.
Interior The left hand room has a chamfered cross beam with runout stops, a second,
boxed-in cross beam and an open fireplace with stone rubble jambs and a timber lintel
survives behind a later arrangement. There may have been a newel stair adjacent to
the stack before the later stairs were inserted. The right hand room has a C20
grate, possibly concealing earlier features, and no exposed beams. 3 rooms on the
first floor, the middle room subdivided in the C20. The doorframe to the rear of
the passage is probably C18, chamfered and pegged.
An attractive vernacular cottage of the region.
