LUSTLEIGH LUSTLEIGH SX 7881

9/191 Pair of cottages on the east - side of the Green about 22 metres south-west of Cleave Hotel GV II

Pair of cottages, probably converted out of a barn in C19. Stone rubble with a layer of cob below the eaves. Thatched roof with a projecting chimneystack in each gable, the stacks having red brick shafts on top. 2 storeys. 4-window front, each cottage having a symmetrical front with a doorway between the 2 ground-storey windows. Doors have 4 flush panels each with raised mouldings round the panel borders; 4-pane fanlight above. Each has a porch with thatched pent roof, that on left supported by wooden brackets, that on right by wooden posts. Ground-storey windows have 2-light wood casements with 2 panes per sash, except for the left-hand cottage in which the window to right has a 2-pane wooden sash. Second-storey windows have 2-light wood casements with 6 panes per light. Rear wall has a large blocked opening above ground level, probably the loading door of a barn; also 2 smaller blocked doorways at ground level, both with chamfered wood lintels, at least one of these with run-out stops. In the cob below the eaves are the survivors of a row of pigeon-holes, framed by pieces of slate with a hole cut in the centre. Interiors not examined, but a 1980 report on the left-hand cottage mentioned no features of interest. Source: 1980 report by Michael Laithwaite.
