SY 09 SE NEWTON POPPLEFORD HIGHERWAY, AND HARPFORD Harpford 4/77 Little Thatch - GV II
Small cottage. Probably late C18-early C19, modernised circa 1975. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; brick stack topped with plastered brick; thatch roof. Originally a 2-room plan cottage facing south. The 2 rooms have now been knocked together. Right (east) end stack. Service outshots to rear and projecting a short distance to right. Outshots may be original. Cottage is 2 storeys. 2-window front comprising a 3-light casement with glazing bars to right and a small fixed light window to left. There are no front first floor windows; they are on the end walls. Some are late C19 but most are C20 casements and all have glazing bars. The central doorway contains a late C19-early C20 stable-type door behind a circa 1976 open porch with a hipped thatch roof supported on heavy timber twisted baluster-type posts resting on low plastered side walls. The roof is gable-ended to right and half-hipped to left. To rear it carries down continuously over the outshots. Interior. No carpentry detail is exposed on the ground floor and roof was not inspected. It is unusual for such a tiny cottage to survive without later extensions.
