Details
SY 18 NE BRANSCOMBE STREET (south side) 7/48 Jasmine Cottage (formerly listed - as part of Nos 1-5 Street 22.2.55 Cottages) GV II Cottage. C17, parts are probably C16, some C18 and C19 alterations. Colour-washed stone rubble; stone rubble stacks, one with part of its original Beerstone chimneyshaft, both topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan and development: 2-room cottage built along the lane and facing north-east onto it. The left room has an axial stack backing onto Beehive (q.v.), the cottage adjoining that side. The right room has a front lateral (maybe corner diagonal) stack. This cottage is one of a row and it appears to have been made in the C18 or C19 from the subdivision of a larger C17, maybe C16, house. The block continues south- eastwards as Beehive (q.v.) and these two cottages appear to make up an original 4- room-and-through-passage plan house. Jasmine Cottage occupies the former hall and inner room parlour. Thus the hall stack is backing onto the site of the former passage in Beehive. However since no internal inspection was available at the time of this survey it is not possible to determine the early history of the house although it seems likely that the hall at least was once open to the roof. The Cottage is now 2 storeys. Exterior: irregular 2-window front of C19 and C20 casements with glazing bars. The window ground floor right is a 2-light window which is blocking a former doorway into the original inner room parlour. This doorway had been inserted through part of a late C16-early C17 Beerstone window and had destroyed 2 of its original 3 lights. One of the original ovolo-moulded mullions still survives as does the headstone and hoodmould. The present doorway is left of this window, inserted into the former hall; it contains a C20 plank door with coverstrips in traditional style. A C20 plaque has been set high in the wall inscribed with the date AD 1503. The roof runs continuously with those over the adjoining cottages. Interior was not available for inspection at the time of this survey. However C17 and maybe C16 carpentry detail is suspected. Therefore a full internal survey should be undertaken before any alterations are made. Jasmine Cottage is one of an exceptionally good group of thatch-roofed buildings which make up the hamlet of Street.
