House. Mid C17, modernised in 1986. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble stack with granite chimneyshaft; thatch roof, corrugated asbestos to rear.
Plan: Two-room plan house facing south. Axial stack serving back-to-back fireplaces between the rooms and front lobby entrance onto the side of the stack. Two storeys with C20 service outshots to rear.
Exterior: irregular three-window front of late C19 - early C20 horned four-pane sashes. Central doorway contains a C20 part-glazed door. Roof is hipped to left and to right it runs continuously with that of the adjoining house, Shelly Cottage (q.v).
Interior: both fireplaces are blocked but each room has an unstopped ovolo-moulded crossbeam. Roof of A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars with shaped halvings.
According to the owners this was a tailors workshop in the C19. South Zeal is special being one of the few medieval boroughs where a significant number of its C16 and C17 houses still survive.
