CULLOMPTON QUEEN'S SQUARE, Cullompton
ST 00 NW
10/133
- No. 1 (Paradise House)
GV
II
Substantial detached house. A C16 or C17 plan much disguised by late-C18 rebuilding.
Brick, with cob rear wing, all under gabled-end slate roof. Probably originally a 3-
room, cross-passage plan with lower-end rear wing; the wing is clearly older than
the present main range, but the latter still conforms to the traditional plan with
the axial stack backing on to former passage; none of the rooms to the main range
connects directly one with another, but they are linked by a rear service corridor;
left wing end stack, and a (possibly C17) axial stack to wing: all with brick shafts.
2 storeys.
Front : 3-window range, brick in English bond; 12-pane sash windows to 1st floor,
that to the left hand side only with horns; ground floor : left-hand doorway under
broken pediment, pilasters, panelled reveals, the door glazed under semi-circular
fanlight; right-hand door now leads into conservatory; two 12-pane hornless sash
windows. Lean-to at rear with 1 hornless sash window, and 1 window with coloured
glass margin panes. Shallow brick rear wing (connecting with older cob work) with
slated leanto; hornless sash window to 1st floor, and a round-headed 6-pane hornless
sash window with intersecting bars with some coloured glass. Old part of wing with
three 16-pane sash windows (1 of them horned), and a 12-pane window to the right-hand
side of the door.
Interior: internal panelled shutters; some internal round-headed archways; 1 door
with coloured glass; elegant stick baluster staircase; good roof to front range with
crossed principals, morticed and side pegged.
