Details
EAST BUDLEIGH LOWER BUDLEIGH, East SY 0684 Budleigh 8/109 No. 2, The Very Cottage, No. 3, - Little Thatch, No. 4, Halfpenny Cottage, and No.5, Bridge Cottages GV II 4 cottages. Probably late C18-early C19. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble or brick stacks topped with plastered brick; thatch roof, tile to outshots. Row of four 1-room plan cottages facing south behind the roadside stream. The outer cottages, No.2 to right (east) and No.5 to left (west), have end stacks whilst Nos. 3 and 4 have rear lateral stacks. In fact No.5 now includes 2 rooms with lateral stacks in a rear block at right angles. These extra rooms were formerly more 1-room plan cottges. Continuous outshots across rear. Main block is 2 storeys. Overall regular but not symmetrical 5-window front comprising mostly C19 and C20 casements with glazing bars. A couple of the C20 casements do not have glazing bars. No.4 has a ground floor C19 tripartite sash containing a central 12-pane sash. Nos. 3, 4, and 5 each have a doorway on the right side and single window each floor to left No.2 however has the door on the left side and an extra first floor window over. Nos 2 and 5 have C19 6-panel doors whilst Nos. 3 and 4 have C20 part- glazed and panelled doors. It may be that No.5 is an addition since the front is set back slightly from the rest and the roof ridge level drops down to No.5. The roof is hipped each end. The rear block faces into the courtyard with similar arrangement of mostly C20 windows and doors. Interiors not inspected. A row of 1-room plan cottages is a rare survival in Devon and this example forms a group with other attractive listed buildings.
