Description

EAST BUDLEIGH HIGH STREET (east side) East SY 0684 Budleigh 8/102 No. 34 - GV II Cottage. Probably C17 origins, much rebuilt in the early C19. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble or cob footings topped with C20 brick; thatch roof. 2-room plan cottage with central entrance lobby and staircase plan facing onto the High Street to west. The larger left room has a-rear lateral stack. 2 storeys. 2-window front of late C19 - early C20 casements with glazing bars; 3 lights to left, 2 lights to right. C20 part-glazed door between them and slightly right of centre. On the right end high in the wall are a few surviving stucco quoins. The roof runs continuously with that of Philomel Cottage (q.v) to left and butts the gable of The Old Bakery (q.v.) to right. Interior. The ground floor partitions and ceiling joists are C19 and the fireplace is blocked by a C20 grate. Roof not accessible and trusses are boxed into the partitions. Nevertheless earlier features may be suspected here since it appears to be one of a pair of cottages with adjoining Philomel Cottage (q.v.) and that contains early C17 features. The two were probably made by dividing the C17 house in the early C19. 34 High Street is one of a group of attractive and varied buildings, many of them listed, on the High Street as it rises to the Church of All Saints (q.v.)
