Description



CREDITON

SS834000 DEAN STREET
672-1/6/25 (East side)
11/10/72 No.43

GV II

Small house. Probably late C18, re-using earlier material; C20
alterations. Roughcast, mostly cob with some stone and brick
walling; gabled red pantile roof; internal right end stack
with brick shaft; lean-to with corrugated asbestos roof; cast
iron gutters on slender brackets.
Plan: Entrance to right on front directly into the single
principal room heated by the right end stack; narrow service
room and stair to the rear. Lean-to adjoining the left end is
probably a later addition.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 1-window front plus one
window to the lean-to. Doorway to the left with late C20 door;
one first and one ground floor window, both late C20 timber
casements with glazing bars. Small C20 window to lean-to; C20
casement on right return, lighting service room.
Interior: remodelled in C20. Roof includes remains of probably
late C16 or early C17 jointed cruck, re-used upside down.
Inspection during renovation (c.1988) revealed extensive
re-used material and patching to the walls: house possibly
erected using material scavenged after the 1743 fire of
Crediton. An increasingly rare example of a very small urban
cottage, unextendable due to its restricted plot. Group value
with the Plymouth Inn (q.v.) and other buildings in Dean
Street which escaped C18 Crediton fires.
