Plan: double depth house facing south. There is a front and back room either side
of a staggered through passage and the staircase is in the rear part. The front
rooms are wider than the rear ones. The rear right room is unheated. The rest are
heated by gable-end stacks. The largest room, the main room, is front right. 2
storeys.
Exterior: regular but not symmetrical 3-window range of C20 casements with glazing bars. The front doorway is left of centre and now contain a C20 gabled door behind a
contemporary gabled and thatch-roofed porch. Roof is half-hipped to right and
gable-ended to left rising above the adjoining properties.
Interior: has plain carpentry detail and C19 joinery detail. The ground floor
front left fireplace looks earlier than C19; it is a large fireplace built of
granite with a neatly soffit-chamfered oak lintel.
Charisma Cottage is one of an attractive group of listed buildings in the centre of
Drewsteignton village.
