CHERITON FITZPAINE CHERITON FITZPAINE SS 80 NE 7/26 Wreylands Cottage including - front garden railings to south - II

Cottage, part of a former house. C16 with C17 improvements. Plastered cob on rubble footings; rubble stacks topped with C19 brick; thatched roof. Existing 2-room cottage occupies hall and inner room of C16 3-room-and-through passage house facing south. Former inner room to right (east) and former hall to left (west). Rear lateral stack to inner room and left end stack to hall (originally backing onto passage). Newel stair turret projecting to rear of hall into a secondary outshot. 2 storeys. Irregular 3-window front of late C19 and early C20 casements all with glazing bars. Door at left end with C20 porch under hipped thatched roof. Good interior. The 2 rooms are divided by C16 oak plank-and-muntin screen with chamfered and roll-stopped muntins and including a blocked flat arched door. Hall has chamfered crossbeam with no stops and, close to the screen, a late C16-early C17 half beam which is chamfered with pyramidal stops and is thought to carry the large-framed first floor crosswall on a small internal jetty. Hall fireplace is blocked. Inner room has probably C18 fireplace with plain oak lintel and a probably C16 chamfered crossbeam. Roof is inaccessible but the timbers exposed on the first floor crosswall suggest that original roof survives. Front garden is fenced from the road by late C19 cast iron railings with ornate spear tops and including similar gate.
