Row of 4 cottages. Mid to late C19 but with earlier origins. Mostly local stone
rubble with some Salcombe stone ashlar dressings at the south end and some cob to
rear; stone rubble stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof.
Plan: row of 4 cottages built across the hillslope facing east-south-east, say
east. They number 1 to 4 from left to right (south to north). Nos. 1 and 2 are 1-
room plan cottages. No. 1 has a gable-end stack and No. 2 has an axial stack
backing onto No. 1. Nos. 3 and 4 are 2-room plan cottages and share an axial stack
in the party wall between them. The rear wall shows that the cottages were not
built on an open site but incorporated and enlarged an earlier building. The rear
wall of Nos. 1 and 3 is cob. Also a straight join in the rear wall suggests that
the end room of No. 4 was an extension to the original 1-room plan cottage. The
cottages are all 2 storeys.
Exterior: irregular 6-window front of C19 and C20 replacement casements with
glazing bars; 1 each to Nos. 1 and 2 and 2 each to Nos. 3 and 4. The first floor
windows rise a short distance into the eaves. All have C20 part-glazed doors with
contemporary gabled hoods. The roof runs continuously over all 4 cottages. It is
hipped to right and gable-ended to left with shaped kneelers and coping.
Interiors were not inspected but little carpentry detail is said to be exposed.
