HARTLAND BROWNSHAM SS 22 NE
2/162 Brownsham Cottage -
GV II
Small house. Circa early C17 with C19 addition. Plastered rubble walls. Gable- ended scantle slate roof. Brick stack at right gable-end. Large plastered rubble lateral stack with dripcourse and tapering cap, and projecting on the left-hand side. Plan: at present 2-room plan, left-hand room heated by fireplace on front wall, right-hand room by gable-end stack. The house almost certainly extended further to the left with a passage and lower room. What survives being the hall and inner room of a 3-root-and-through-passage house. C19 wing at rear of left-hand room. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2-window front of early C19 16-pane hornless sashes. C19 plank door to left under gabled slate doorhood which rests on curved wooden brackets. Slate roofed oven projection to left of lateral stack. At rear long wing extends from right-hand side. Interior: not seen but according to occupants contains heavy chamfered ceiling beams in left-hand room. Apparently there are no timbers visible in the first floor rooms and no access to the roof-space exists. This house retains a very unspoilt external appearance and forms part of a traditional and picturesque hamlet.
