2 houses, formerly a single farmhouse. Early C17, much altered and partially
rebuilt in C19, with rear extensions added in C20. Heavitree stone plinth,
standing to 7 feet to no. 2, with brick above (No. 2), and roughcast cob (No. 1);
thatched roof, hipped to left, gabled-end to right. There is structural evidence
of the house being of one build, although the original plan is not certain;
probably a 3-room through passage plan, the right-hand room heated by an external
end stack, the left-hand room by an internal all brick end stack of the C19, but
with some evidence to suggest a rear lateral stack; rear newel stair turret to
right-hand room. 2 storeys.
Front: set on a bend in the road; 4-window range, 2-light casement windows to
first floor; three 2-light casement windows to ground floor, and a single light
window in addition; front door to no. 2, rear door to no. 1. Two 2-light windows to left-hand end of main range; later windows to rear wing which is also thatched.
Interior: no. 2 not inspected; no. 1 retains the plaster ceiling noted by
Dr. Alcock, with composite moulded cornice, and fleur-de-lys to the corners; over the fireplace are 2 florets, and a central heraldic shield. The first floor details (chamfered door frame) were not inspected.
