2/287 Next to the Post Office and Corner Cottage

GV II

2 cottages. Probably C18. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble stacks topped with C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan: pair of contemporary 2-room plan cottages facing south-west. Each cottage is a mirror plan of the other either side of the party wall. Main rooms are the inner rooms heated by a central axial stack serving back-to-back fireplaces. Central small entrance hall with stairs and unheated lobby (maybe a diary) between the main rooms. The left cottage, Next to the Post Office, is the least altered although its left end stack may be a late C19 insertion. The right cottage, Corner Cottage, was formerly the Post Office. Both are 2 storeys with secondary rear service outshots. Exterior: Next to the Post Office has a vaguely symmetrical 3-window front of C19 and C20 casements, only the oldest with glazing bars. Central doorway contains a late C19 - early C20 part-glazed panelled door behind a contemporary gabled porch. Corner Cottage has a more altered 3-window front of late C19 - early C20 casements with glazing bars. Here however a canted bay window appears to occupy the site of the original front doorway and the present front doorway is to left of it. Also a secondary doorway has been inserted through the right windows. Continuous roof is hipped each end. Interior: only Next to the Post Office was available for inspection at the time of this survey and it was largely the result of a late C19 refurbishment. Roof was not inspected.
