Details
LUPPITT ST 10 NE 6/37 Antelope Cottage - - II House, originally 2 cottages, and later used as an inn. Mid-late C17, refurbished as an inn in the late C18 - early C19, modernised circa 1970. Plastered local stone rubble, maybe with some cob; stone rubble stacks topped with C20 brick; thatch roof to main house, slate and cedarwood shingles to extensions. Plan: the house faces south and is built down the hillslope. Originally it was a pair of mirror plan cottages, each with a small unheated inner room and outer larger heated room with a gable-end stack. Now the 2 rooms at the right (east) end have been united. A secondary outbuilding on the left end has now been brought into domestic use and there is a circa 1970 sun room extension in front of the left end of the main house. House is otherwise 2 storeys. Exterior: originally the overall 4-window front would have been symmetrical with inner 2-light windows and outer 3-light windows, all now C20 casements with glazing bars. Now the ground floor left end window is a C20 bay window and the ground floor right end has the gabled sun room in front. Each former cottage had a central doorway but now the left one is converted to a window. The right doorway contains a C20 door behind a contemporary gabled porch. The main roof is gable-ended. Interior: in the right end there is a chamfered and step-stopped crossbeam (the only beam exposed in the house). The fireplace here has one limestone ashlar jamb, the other is an oak post and the cambered oak lintel is chamfered. The left end fireplace is plastered with a plain oak lintel. The roof was not inspected although the bases of straight principals show on the first floor from either original or late C18 - early C19 A-frame trusses.
