FENITON COLESTOCKS ST 00 SE 3/55 Moneyglass Cottage - GV II
Cottage, former small farmhouse, once 2 cottages. Early - mid C16 origins; much rebuilt and rearranged in the late C17 and again in the mid - late C19, circa 1970 extension and modernisation. Plastered cob and local stone rubble, some brick patching to rear; one cob stack, one stone rubble and brick stack; thatch roof, replaced with slate on the ridge and rear pitch. Plan and development: 3-room plan cottage facing south. The left (west) room is a C20 extension. The centre room has an axial stack backing onto the left room and the right room has a cob gable-end stack. In the older part the present layout is essentially that of 2 1-room plan cottages, probably late C17 in date. However there appears to be evidence of smoke-blackening in the roof which must suggest that the house began as some form of open hall house farmhouse heated by an open hearth fire and that it dates from the C16. It is now 2 storeys. Exterior: regular but not symmetrical 5-window front of C20 casements with glazing bars, some timber but most of them uPVC. Both front doorways contain C20 doors behind contemporary gabled porches. The roof is gable-ended. Interior: the left room is entirely C20. Both the other rooms have crossbeams. The centre room one is roughly-finished, the other is clad with plaster. The right room has a late C17 brick fireplace with chamfered oak lintel. It includes an oven which is housed below the old winder stair rising alongside. The centre room fireplace is C19 brick but it is thought to be a rebuild and the chamfered oak lintel is reused from the earlier fireplace. The roof over the centre room has no trusses. It is a series of common rafter couples. They and the underside of the front thatch are lightly smoke-blackened from the original open hearth fire. The right end of the roof is carried on a C19 A-frame truss.
