EXMINSTER EXMINSTER
SX 98 NW

4/53 Garden Cottage
-

GV II

House. C17 or earlier origins. Rendered cob and stone; tile roof gabled at right
end; front lateral stack at extreme right with brick shaft projecting through the
roof.
The present plan is a single depth main range, 3 rooms wide, only the right hand room
heated from the lateral stack. A rear right addition is 1 room on plan and 2-
storeys. Although alterations have obscured a good deal of the plan the most
probable interpretation is a 2 or 3 room and through passage C17 plan with the
hall/kitchen to the right. The roof trusses indicate that the left hand end has been
rebuilt in the circa late C17/early C18. C20 alterations have moved the doorway to
the left and created a small room in the approximate position of the former passage.
2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front with regular fenestration of 3-light C19
casements, 8 panes per light. Gabled porch to left of centre with C19 door with
fielded panels and moulded doorcase. The door has been moved one bay to the left and
its former position used for a casement window which is a copy of the C19 casements.
Interior: The right hand room has a deeply chamfered axial beam (no stops visible);
fireplace largely reconstructed. The left hand room has a winder stair against the
rear wall. There are 3 side-pegged jointed cruck trusses over the right hand end of
the house, the right hand truss is adjacent to the end wall of the house, suggesting
that, at one time, it extended further to the right. The trusses over the left hand
end of the house are pegged and circa late C17/early C18.
An attractive C19 exterior and early interior features.
