roof. C19
2-room plan cottage facing north-west with central through passage containing C19
stairs. Stack in right (south-west) end party wall shared by adjoining Homeleigh
(south-west) and disused front lateral stack to left room. At left end is a store
recessed from front and to rear is 1985 service extension. 2 storeys. Front has
irregular fenestration with a single 4-light casement at right end on ground floor
and two 2-light casements on first floor at right end and right of centre. All at
C19 with glazing bars. Small blind recess under eaves left of centre. In centre
are 2 C19 doors. That to left possibly replacing former window. All ground floor
openings and the back of the fireplace have exposed C17 oak lintels, all chamfered
with scroll stops. The latter may imply that the stack inserted and blocked a
former window. Roof is hipped to left.
Interior: right room has a chamfered and scroll stopped crossbeam and rubble
fireplace lintel also has remains of similar finish. Fireplace also has Cl9 brick
lined oven to left. Left room has plain carpentry detail. Roof of A-frame trusses
with pegged lap-jointed collars. A feature difficult to explain is 2 doors through
back wall at first floor level.
Coleford is a remarkably unspoilt and picturesque hamlet.
