Description

CHUDLEIGH NEW EXETER ROAD
SX 88 SE
1/62 Heathfield and former stables

23.8.55 II

House and former stables. Early C19. Colourwashed rendered stone rubble; thatched
roof, hipped at ends; projecting left end stack with brick shaft, stack on rear wall
of main block at junction with rear wing.
L plan house with a rear courtyard formed by former stable buildings. The main block
of the house is single depth, 2 rooms wide with principal rooms in either side of an
entrance lobby containing the stair. It is not clear whether the rear lateral stack
heats the right hand room or the rear right service wing, which is at right angles to
the main block. A small gabled wing adjoining the left end of the main block and
slightly set back is probably a later addition. A single-storey former stable block,
parallel to the house, returns and adjoins the service wing to the right and a former
coach house, converted to a garage, at the left.
2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-bay front elevation with a central half-glazed C20 front
door below a 12-pane sash, 16-pane sashes to ground and first floor left and right.
A thatched verandah on chamfered timber posts returns round the left and right ends
of the main block. The stable range is thatched with C20 windows and doors. The
coach house, formerly described as "thatched stables with lunette window" (1952 list
description) has a corrugated iron roof.
Interior not inspected.
The thatched verandah is a particularly attractive feature of this house which is
visible from the road and one of a series of C19 houses on the Exeter Road.
