BUCKFASTLEIGH

SX7466 ELLIOTT PLAIN
1011-1/7/63 (South side)
Nos.3-8 (Consecutive)

GV II

Row of 6 cottages. Frontages c1830s but the core may be a C17
house. Roughcast, mass wall construction, some cottages
colour-washed; asbestos slate roof, gabled at ends; one axial
stack with old chimney pots, 2 rear lateral stacks, one
shouldered and projecting, with rendered shafts and drip
ledges. Plan: single-depth main block, each cottage 1 room
wide with a single-storey rear service lean-to. Judging from
the position and appearance of the stacks the left end of the
range may have originated as a 3-room and through-passage plan
house, although the evidence is uncertain. First floors
arranged as flying freeholds. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys.
Asymmetrical 1-window front to each cottage. Nos 8 & 10 with
front doors to the left, the others with front doors to the
right. Each cottage retains matching late C19 or early C20
recessed half-glazed timber doors with overlights; one
matching C19 ground-floor 3-light timber casement with 3 panes
per light and 1 first-floor 16-pane early C19 hornless sash.
No.8 (left end cottage) has 1 ground- and 1 first-floor
3-light casement, 3 panes per light. Rear elevations retain
3-light casements matching those on front. INTERIOR: may
retain features of interest. Nos 3 & 5 partially inspected,
modernised but party walls suggest re-arrangement of earlier
plan form.
