Description




SY 18 NE BRANSCOMBE

7/3 Barnells including terrace
7.12.62 to north-west
GV II

House. Built in 1825 by Captain Yule, enlarged in 1851 when bought by the Tucker
family, further work in 1860 was never finished, thoroughly refurbished in 1934.
Plastered stone rubble with brick dressings; stone rubble stacks with plastered
brick chimneyshafts; slate roof.
Plan and development: double depth plan house built across the steep valley side
and facing south-west. It has the 3 principal rooms on the front and service rooms
with large entrance hall and staircase to rear. The rooms are heated by an
irregular series of axial and gable-end stacks. The development of the house has
been described in detail by the 1934 architect Margaret Tomlinson (see source,
below). Essentially nothing really remains of the original Trafalgar Cottage here,
Captain Yule's cottage ornee of 1825. It was greatly enlarged and much rebuilt in
1851 and circa 1860 by the Tucker family whose house included a lace factory.
However the 1860 work was left unfinished and in 1934 the house was refurbished by
Margaret Tomlinson, a process which involved the demolition of the lace factory
section at the north-west end and its conversion to a terrace.
House is 2 storeys with attics.
Exterior: regular but not symmetrical 5-window front of C19 20-pane sashes, those
on the ground floor are full height. All have low segmental arches over, those on
the ground floor including stucco keystones and they have external shutters. The
front doorway is left of centre., It contains C20 French windows but the stucco
doorcase with voussoirs is C19. Most of the windows around the other sides were put
there circa 1934 but most are sash windows in the style of the mid C19 house. For
instance the rear stair window is a large tripartite sash containing a central 18-
pane sash, and the north-west end wall, a complete 1934 build, contains 16 and 12-
pane sashes and a 6-panel door with fanlight. The roof is gable-ended.
Interior contains some C19 joinery but most dates from 1934 though it is C19 in
style. This includes the stair.
From the left end of the front the wall of the demolished 1851 extension was left
standing up to first floor level as a feature of the terrace that end. The 3
segmental-arched window embrasures there are now open.

the Victory in the Battle of Trafalgar and built the original Trafalgar Cottage
here.
