Description


SX 39 NE CLAWTON CHURCH ROAD, Clawton

3/15 Nos 1 and 2
-
II

Pair of cottages. Probably mid C17. Whitewashed cob on stone rubble footings,
corrugated iron roof (formerly thatched) gabled at ends, stone end stacks.
Single depth plan. Each cottage is 1 1/2-rooms wide with a heated hall/kitchen at the
outer end of the range and a half room divided between an unheated service room and a
stair in the centre of the range. The left-hand cottage has the service room to the
front, the stair to the rear; the arrangement is reversed for the right-hand cottage.
Front doors on either side of the central half rooms open directly into the heated
rooms. A small lean-to adjoins the right return of the range.
2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-window front with front doors under corrugated iron porch
canopies on timber brackets on either side of a 1-light window. Ground floor windows
left and right are 2-light casements, 6-panes per light. 4-pane central first floor
window; first floor windows left and right 2-light casements with glazing bars and
probably originally identical. A 3-light ovolo-moulded C17 timber window on the left
return of the range appears to be in situ.
Interior Very unaltered since the C19, the right-hand cottage preserves an open
fireplace.
A rare survival of an ingeniously-planned pair of C17 cottages on a prominent corner
site. A similar pair exists in Manaton parish.
