KENTON THE STRAW, Starcross SX 98 SE
6/283 Northend Cottage -
GV II
Cottage. Early C19. Grey limestone rubble, slate roof, gabled at ends with coped gables and kneelers; stone lateral stack with yellow brick shaft to left wall of main block. The scale and Gothic style suggest a lodge but there is no evidence that it ever served this purpose. It was lived in by a policeman in 1871 and may have been a purpose built police cottage. Tudor style. Plan: A small cottage with one principal heated room with a porch on the north side and a single-storey service room under a lean-to roof on the south side. A stair rises in the front right corner of the main room. C20 addition to rear left. Exeterior: Very well-preserved. The I window front elevation has a Gothic gabled porch with a deeply-chamfered 4-centred doorway with a shield carved over the arch. The doorway is now blocked and the porch is entered on the left return, the right return has a stone-framed slit window and the main block has a similar slit window to the left of the porch. Arched inner doorframe with a 4-centred arched C19 plank and cover strip front door. The left return (facing the road) has a small canted bay window to the ground floor with glazing bars and a 2-light first floor C19 casement, a similar window at the left lights the lean-to. The right return also has a C19 canted bay window, so the principal room is lit from both sides. Interior: Original joinery survives: fireplace blocked. The deeds are said to go back to 1870 when the house was purchased by the Powderham Estate. An unusual and attractive small roadside house.
