Details

HATHERLEIGH BRIDGE STREET (east side), SS 5404 Hatherleigh 11/29 Nos 43 and 45 - GV II Pair of cottages, originally probably one house. Probably C16 origins but most of the surviving early features are C17 and later alterations were made. Plastered and rendered cob and rubble walls. Thatch roof half hipped to left, gabled to right. 2 brick stacks, one axial and one at right gable end. Plan: original plan not entirely clear but almost certainly one house, probably with 2 main heated rooms, left-hand one heated by axial stack and gable stack to right-hand room. At present each cottage has 2 rooms and there is a probably late C17 or early C18 outbuilding wing behind the right-hand end. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 5 window front, 3 to No.43 to left. Its 2 left- hand 1st floor windows are in small gables - the end one is a C17 chamfered 2-light wooden mullion with leaded panes, the windows to its right is a 3-light C19 casement. Beyond that is a tall C20 3-light casement. On the ground floor are 2 3- light C20 casements. C20 plank doors at the left and right ends. The left-hand two-thirds of the house projects slightly from the rest of the building. At the rear is a C17 3-light chamfered wooden mullion window. No.45 to right has regular 2 window front of C19 or early C20 2-light casements. Central C19 plank door. Thatched outbuilding wing behind right-hand end. Interior: of No. 43 has chamfered unstopped ceiling beams. Open fireplace with narrow chamfered wooden lintel and straight cut stops. Roof: one cruck type truss survives, possibly jointed, which has threaded purlins. Very limited access to the roof-space precluded an inspection for smoke-blackening but it is very possible that this is a medieval truss.
