PLYMTREE ST 00 SE 3/118 Bowling Green and Bowling Green - cottage - II
2 cottages made from a former farmhouse. Mid - late C17, modernised when subdivided circa 1980. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble or cob stack topped with C19 and C20 brick; corrugated asbestos roof, formerly thatch. Plan: the building faces south. Bowling Green Cottage occupies the left (west) end and has a 1-room plan. Bowling Green occupies the rest and has a 2-room plan. The cottages were made by subdividing a 3-room lobby entrance plan house. An axial stack between the centre and left end rooms serves back-to-back fireplaces and the lobby entrance is in front. (It has now been adapted to take the 2 cottage doorways). It would seem that originally the left end room (Bowling Green Cottage) was the parlour, the centre room was the kitchen and the small unheated right end room was a service room, probably a buttery or dairy. 2 storeys with secondary lean-to outshots to rear (now brought into domestic use) and a circa 1980 single storey extension on the left end. Exterior: the main block has an irregular 4-window front of C19 and C20 casements with glazing bars. The cottage front doorways stand side by side left of centre. Both contain C20 plank doors and share a contemporary porch. The roof is half- hipped both ends. Interior: only Bowling Green was available for inspection at the time of this survey and all the features here appear to be mid - late C17. The former kitchen crossbeam is chamfered with runout stops. The fireplace here has been lined with C19 brick and the oven is contemporary but the chamfered oak lintel is original. Tne partition between the 2 rooms is oak-framed; close-studded and contains a chamfered doorframe. The former dairy/buttery has a roughly-chamfered axial beam. The roof is carried on A-frame trusses with pegged and spiked lap-jointed collars and X-apexes.
