Historic interest:
* as an early-C19 former inn with possible C17 origins it illustrates the historical development of Fore Street.
History
24 Fore Street may have origins as an early C17 building and appears to be included on a plan of Cullompton dated 1633. The building is subsequently shown on the 1831 insurance map of Cullompton by RP Davy and the Tithe Map of Cullompton (1839) when it was known as the Three Mariners Inn. In the late C19, the principal elevation was remodelled, and the building renamed the Half Moon Inn.
Details
A former inn built in the early C19, with possible C17 origins. C19, C20, and C21 alterations.
MATERIALS: built of cob, Culm sandstone and brick, with stucco to the principal elevation. The roof is covered in slate tiles with clay ridge tiles.
EXTERIOR: of two storeys, with attic accommodation. The three-bay symmetrical façade has rusticated quoins, a moulded string course, and a moulded cornice supported on four decorative corbels. To the central bay of the ground floor is a C20 door with a doorcase of fluted pilasters supporting a triangular pediment that rises above the string course. The outer bays have C20 plate-glass display windows with incised voussoirs to the lintels above. To the first floor, the central three-over-three horned sash window is flanked by six-light windows with heavily moulded mullions and transoms, and a round head to the central upper light. These three windows have moulded eared architrave, and the outer windowsills are supported on corbels. To the attic are three raking dormer windows with two-over-two sash windows with reeded jambs. There are rendered gable end chimney stacks.
The side elevation is built of brick laid in Flemish bond with rubbed brick dressings. The original doorway is blocked and a new door to the left has been inserted in the position of a former window.
The south elevation of the rear range is of six bays. The ground floor is built of rubble stone with some brick infill, and features segmental arch heads to the altered window and door openings. The first floor is built of brick laid in stretcher bond with six, two-over-two, horned sash windows beneath cambered brick heads.
INTERIOR: to the ground floor is a panelled ceiling of intersecting beams with triple roll moulding forming four square panels.
