II*
Surviving wings of a large late C16 house. Circa 1590. The west and south wings are all that remain of the original E-shaped house. Part of the south wing and all of the east wing are said to have been demolished after a fire in the C18. North wing added in the C18 forming U-shaped plan. Coursed stone. Fishscale tile roof with stone coping to gabled ends. Two storeys. West wing is three window range. Two and three light ovolo moulded stone mullion windows with dripmoulds. Later central doorway with C19 stone gabled porch. Late raking buttresses left and right. Rendered chimney stacks over gable ends. The other elevations also have ovolo moulded stone mullion windows with dripmoulds. The C18 north wing of stone rubble, fishscale tiled roof with stone coping to gable ends, two storeys, C18 wooden mullion casements with leaded panes. Interior: Floor taken out of the west wing to form an open hall and the stairs are probably made up from C18 balusters. Chamfered ceiling beams throughout, many with half-pyramid stops. Stone chimneypieces. What was probably the hall in the south wing has two large timber posts with chamfers and pyramid stops. In room above dado linenfold panelling with ovolo moulded frame above possibly a blocked window. In the roof jointed cruck trusses. Charles I after Battle of Worcester is said to have hidden here. Coaxdon Hall was the birthplace of Sir Simonds D'Ewes (1602-50) the antiquary and author of "Journals of all the Parliaments during the reign of Queen Elizabeth" Ref: W G Hoskins, Devon.
