Summary


Early-C19 house, with a late-C19 or early-C20 shopfront.

Description


Early-C19 house, with a late-C19 or early-C20 shopfront.

MATERIALS: built of cob and stone that has been rendered. The pitched roof is covered in slate tiles.

EXTERIOR: a two-storey, two-bay symmetrical principal elevation with a deep eaves cornice. The ground-floor shop frontage comprises a recessed entrance door with transom light above and plate-glass display windows to either side. The lobby entrance has a mosaic-tiled floor. The shopfront is framed by panelled pilasters supporting the fascia above. To the first floor are two six-over-six hornless sash windows within moulded architraves. To the left-hand end is a chimney stack with a rendered brick shaft.

History


18 Fore Street was built in the early C19. The building is shown on the 1831 map of Cullompton by RP Davy as having a thatched roof, with a series of additions to the rear. By the late C19, as shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey map, it appears to have been extended forward onto Fore Street, and this may have coincided with the insertion of the shopfront.
