3/100 Compass Cottage, Honeysuckle and
- Little Thatch
GV II
3 cottages, probably a single farmhouse originally. Late C16 or C17 with additions
at the rear. Roughcast, solid walls; the left- hand gable wall is of exposed cob,
and the adjacent front wall of Compass Cottage is probably of the same material.
Thatched roof, hipped at left-hand end. In rear wall to left (behind Compass
Cottage) is a large granite chimney stack. In centre of rear wall (behind
Honeysuckle) is a large, old projecting stack, slightly tapered. On right-hand
gable (of Little Thatch) is a smaller rendered stack. Original plan uncertain, but
the building is long enough to have had the traditional 3 rooms and a through-
Passage; the centre cottage, Honeysuckle, looks like the hall of such a house. 2
storeys. 4-window front with C20 windows, except at Compass Cottage; this has a 2-
light C19 wood casement in each storey with 2 panes per light. All 3 cottages have
C20 doors with thatched hoods. 2 C20 buttresses support the front wall of Little
Thatch.
Interior of Honeysuckle has an ovolo-moulded upper floor beam laid parallel to the
ridge. In rear wall of ground storey room is a large fireplace with chamfered wood
lintel having a step-stop at left end, although the chamfer runs on past the jamb on
the right; jambs are of plain stonework. Compass Cottage appears to have large
fireplace in rear of ground storey room, this having a moulded wood lintel;
chamfered upper floor beam parallel to ridge. Roof timbers exposed in upstairs
room. Little Tnatch is said to have no exposed early features, but these almost
certainly exist, concealed under plaster.
