3/19 Andrews Cottage
GV II
House, former farmhouse (possibly a former Dartmoor longhouse). Mid or late C17, possibly earlier origins, modernised circa 1980. Granite stone rubble on boulder footings, large roughly-dressed granite quoins, and some plastered cob along the wall tops; granite stack with plastered brick top; thatch roof. Plan and development: This may have originated as a 3-room-and-through-passage plan Dartmoor longhouse built on a flat site facing south-east. If so the passage front doorway has been removed. The shippon at the right (north-eastern) end is now used as a garage. The putative hall has an axial stack backing onto the site of the passage. There is now no internal access between hall and lower end. Now a front door leads directly into the unheated inner room which also contains a straight flight stair. This is a difficult house to interpret. It could easily have been a Dartmoor longhouse in which case it probably developed from an open hall house. Alternatively there is some evidence (but inconclusive) that the shippon end was added to a 2-room plan house. 2 storeys. Exterior: The house part to left (the putative hall and inner room) have an irregular 2-window frqnt of C20 casements with glazing bars, the upper ones with thatch eyebrows over. The front door, in the middle of this section, is also C20 and part-glazed. The right end (shippon) section is blind and shows no obvious evidence of a blocked front passage doorway. The roof is half-hipped to left and gable-ended to right. C20 garage door in the right end wall. The rear wall has similar C20 casements to the front. Here there is a doorway in the position of the rear passage doorway. There is a hayloft loading hatch directly above and to left of it a slit window to the shippon. Interior: has plain carpentry detail and the hall fireplace is granite ashlar but plain. The roof, including that over the shippon, is made up of A-frame trusses with pegged and spiked lap-jointed collars.
