20.2.67 Island House and Cottage attached
to Island House)
GV II
House. C17 or earlier in origin with later additions and remodelling. Colourwashed
rendered cob and stone rubble; thatched roof with with plain ridge, gabled at ends
and half-hipped over the 2 storey porch; right end stack with a modern brick shaft, 2
internal rear lateral stacks with brick shafts.
Plan: Single depth range, 3 rooms wide with a 2-storey porch approximately in the
centre and a workshop at the right end. The right end room, now in use as a pottery,
appears to be an addition or rebuilding and a change in plane on the front elevation
suggests that the left end has also been rebuilt at some time.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 6 window front with a half-glazed late C19 or C20
door to the storeyed porch and a separate entrance to the right into the pottery.
Timber windows of the late C19 and C20 with glazing bars, some fixed and some
casements.
Interior: Some exposed carpentry.
Roof: Not inspected at time of survey (1987).
Island House is in a crucial position in the village.
