Description




SY 28 NW BRANSCOMBE

8/1 No. I (Three Willows) and
- No. 2 (Sunny Side) Bank Cottages

GV II

Pair of cottages, part of a row. Mid C19. Plastered stone rubble; stone rubble
stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; slate roof.
Plan: pair of contemporary 2-room plan cottages facing south. They are built
across the hillslope and the rear is terraced into it. Both cottages have a central
entrance hall and staircase between their 2 rooms. The rooms have outer end stacks,
that is to say, a gable-end stack at the right (east) end and axial stacks in the
party walls serving back-to-back fireplaces. No. 1 is the right (east) end cottage
of the two. No. 2 is the left one. They are part of a terrace of 4 similar houses
but the straight join in the chimneyshaft between Nos. 2 and 3 (q.v.) suggests that
the row is made up of 2 pairs of cottages and this pair (Nos. 1 and 2) are thought
to be the later pair. The stucco front has a quoin strip at the right end. At the
right end there is an original 2-storey woodshed/store, the upper floor gained from
the terrace. The cottages are 2 storeys.
Exterior: both cottages have symmetrical 3-window fronts of original casements with
glazing bars. Both are arranged around central doorways containing original part-
glazed 6-panel doors. However the fronts are not identical. No. 2 has a blind
first floor central window and the ground floor windows have pointed arch heads.
The roof is gable-ended to right and to left continues over No. 3. The
woodshed/store is also gable-ended.
Interior: the carpentry detail is plastered over as it always was but the interiors
of both cottages retain original joinery and other detail.
