Details
UPOTTERY ST 20 NW 7/121 Ullcombe Cottage - - II Cottage, once used as a school and master's house. Mid C17 and mid - late C19. Partly plastered, partly colour-washed local stone and flint rubble, maybe with some cob; stone rubble stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan: 3-room plan cottage facing north-east and built down the hillslope. Uphill at the right (north-west) end is a small unheated room. Next to it is the main living room (which also served as the former kitchen; there is now a C20 kitchen extension on the right end). This room is heated by an axial stack backing onto the left (south-east) room which is much lower, more like a basement, than the rest of the house and it has an end stack. Also the front door is into this left room section, into an entrance hall containing the main stair. It seems that the centre and right rooms here form the historic core of the building, in fact it seems likely that these made 1 room in the C17 which suggest that the house was then larger. The left room however is a C19 extension (or rebuild) and was apparently used as a schoolroom. The house is 2 storeys with a C20 kitchen extension on the right end. Exterior: irregular 3-window front of ground floor windows only comprising different-sized C20 casements with glazing bars. The front doorway is left of centre and contains a part-glazed C20 door behind a contemporary thatch-roofed porch. The roof is hipped to left and half-hipped to right and the eaves rise up over the porch. Interior: the main living room fireplace is blocked but some of its oak lintel is exposed. The half beam across the chimneybreast and the beam over the partition to the unheated right room are chamfered with roll-nick stops. The partition between the 2 rooms may be secondary. The rest of the house has plain C19 and C20 carpentry detail. The roof was not inspected although the bases of straight principals from A-frame trusses show at first floor level; those over the older part have large enough scantling to be C17.
