WITHERIDGE WEST STREET (south side), SS 81 SW Witheridge 9/105 Nos. 25 and 27 (Rosemont Cottages) - GV II
Pair of cottages. C16 core, extensive C19 and C20 internal and external alteration. Roughcast and colourwashed on stone rubble, slate and asbestos slate roofs, brick stack to left on the gable wall, also a tall stack rising in the centre of the front off ridge, 2 further brick stacks to right of front. Plan and development: open hall house, the lower room divided from the hall by a full height partition which may still be seen in the roof. Subsequently, probably in the C17 the building was floored and divided into 4 rooms on the ground floor, axial stacks, the right 2 rooms with a single stack and back to back hearths, the other 2 rooms also heated, by axial stacks, at this time the building probably became 2 dwellings. 2 passages, one at higher end, and one in the usual position between the hall and lower end. Exterior: 2 storeys, asymmetrical 2:1:1 windows, C19 1-, 2- and 3-light casements with small panes and close-set glazing bars, those to the left of the first floor with small glazed gablets set over. 2 door openings to the centre, to left recessed door up 3 steps, panelled plank door. To the right C20 projecting stone rubble porch with a slated gabled roof, 2 stone steps, iron handrails. Interior: not much early work remains inside, fireplace to right of the ground floor with small scroll stops on wooden bressumer. C20 staircases and joinery. Roof: 2 cruck trusses remain in the roof with smoke-blackening, diagonal ridge-pieces, morticed cranked collars, butt purlins; that to west a closed truss with what is probably an inserted cob wall up to the ridge, this divided the hall from the lower room; some C19 alteration to the roof, particularly over the west end.
