Early to mid-C19 house with late-C20 ground-floor shopfront. C20 and C21 alterations. The ground floor shop unit now forms part of 14 and 16 Fore Street.
MATERIALS: built of stone that is covered with render.
EXTERIOR: a three-storey, single-bay façade. To the ground floor is a late-C20, dual-aspect, multi-pane shopfront window, with a door to its north side. To the left of the shopfront is a late-C19 console bracket supported on a reeded pilaster with a Tudor rose motif. There is a one-over-one horned sash window with plain architrave to the first and second floors. The roof is concealed.
12 Fore Street was built in the early to mid-C19 as a single-bay house, infilling the plot between 10 and 14 Fore Street. The building is shown on the 1831 map of Cullompton by RP Davy with a narrow passage between it and 10 Fore Street to the north. By the late C19, as shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey map, 10 and 12 Fore Street had been amalgamated to form a single building. A new shopfront was created across the frontage and a pilaster with a console bracket above survives to the outer corner of both 10 and 12 Fore Street. By the late C20, they had been re-divided into two separate shop units; the shopfronts are late C20 insertions. The passage had been retained internally and continues to provide access to Hungerford Court to the rear of 10 Fore Street. In the early C21, the shop unit of 12 Fore Street was knocked through to the shop unit of 14 and 16 Fore Street to the south, to form a single commercial unit.
12 Fore Street is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
Historic interest:
* as an early- to mid-C19 former house.
Group value:
* for its group value with the Grade II-listed 10 Fore Street with which it formed a single building in the late C19, both retaining the remains of the C19 shopfront that spanned the building;
* for its group value with the Grade II-listed 14 and 16 Fore Street with which part of the ground floor is now amalgamated.
