IDE THE COLLEGE, Ide SX 99 SW
2/64 Nos 2, 3 and 4 4.4.78 GV II
3 adjoining properties, probably originally 1 house. Late C15/early C16 origins, considerably altered in the late C20. Whitewashed and rendered, probably cob on stone rubble footings; asbestos slate roof at right end and centre of range (formerly thatched), thatched roof at left end of range; axial stack to left of centre, front lateral projecting stack with set-offs and tall brick shaft, right end stack. The row of houses known as The College stands on a raised pavement above Fordland Brook. Nos. 2,3 and 4 are at the right hand end of the College. The evidence suggests that the 3 properties were a 3 room and through passage house, the lower end (no. 2) to the right; the hall and passage (no. 3) in the centre; the inner room (no. 4) to the left. The core of the range is a late medieval 2-bay open hall of jointed cruck construction, probably floored over in the C17 when the lateral stack was added. The evolution of the lower end (no. 2) and inner room (no. 4), which has a higher roofline, is unclear. Picturesque asymmetrical 4 window front, the thatched roof of no. 4 swept down to the junction with No. 2. C20 front door to the passage to the right of the lateral stack, C20 front doors at the extreme right and left of the range. Fenestration of 2- and 3-light C20 casements with glazing bars, the ground floor window to the left of the stack preserves an old chamfered lintel. Interior of No. 3: The passage has exposed joists. The hall has a chamfered cross beams (stops probably concealed behind wall plaster) and a large fireplace with chamfered Heavitree ashlar jambs and a timber lintel with diagonal stops. 1-smoke- blackened face-pegged jointed cruck survives, rafters and ridge replaced. Apex of cruck not seen. Interior of Nos. 2 and 4: not inspected. The name suggests that the building may originally have had some ecclesiastical function. 2 undated photographs of the range (Circa 1910 and 1940) are reproduced in Rowland's Ide. Rowland, B, Ide (1985) p3, 35.
