Description

WINKLEIGH FORE STREET (north side),
SS 6308
Winkleigh
11/170 Hillmans
21.2.77
GV II
House. Early to mid C17 possibly with earlier origins and C18 extensions. Rendered
cob and rubble walls. Gable-ended thatch roof. 2 rubble stacks with dripcourses, 1
at gable-end and one axial.
Plan: 2-room-and-through-passage front range - left-hand room heated by fireplace
in its end wall, right-hand room by axial stack backing onto passage. 2 long rear
wings extend behind either end - the left-hand one is at least partly C17 as
doorways of this date lead into it from the house on the 1st floor so presumably at
least part of it had a domestic purpose; the other wing was probably wholly for use
as outbuildings and is more likely to be C18.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3-window front of C20 3-light casements without
glazing bars on the 1st floor. Below and to the right is a C19 16-pane bay window
with modillion cornice. Tudor type door at centre. To left is C19 double shop
front with projecting cornice supported on brackets.
Interior: the ground floor exhibits few original features but the original
fireplaces are likely to survive behind C20 blocking. On the 1st floor 3 C17
chamfered doorframes survive, 2 into the left-hand rear wing. The roof timbers are
insubstantial straight principals and probably date from the C18 or C19.
