GV II

Includes: No.5 COCKLES LANE. House, now 2 dwellings. Mid C16, C20 alterations.Dressed local volcanic trap and slatestone laid to course; slate roof; stone stack with brick shaft. Plan: Overall T-plan with a rear wing. No 5 Cockles Lane includes the right hand end of the main range, a 2-bay rear wing at right angles to the main range and a room over Cockles Lane. The original plan probably a 2-room main range with a cross passage entrance to left of centre, hall to the right heated by a front lateral stack, unheated room to the left, with a rear wing heated by an end stack. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2:1 plus 1 window front (the right hand window to the room over Cockles Lane). Grand, shallowly-projecting front lateral stack with large dressed quoins, shouldered above the eaves with a stone shaft, the top section replaced with brick. All ground floor openings have relieving arches. No 29 has a front door to left of the stack with a broad relieving arch - this may be the original cross passage entrance. To the left a late C19/early C20 3-light casement with glazing bars, similar window to first floor left, similar 2-light window above front door. To the right of the stack No 5 Cockles Lane has a 3-light casement to the ground floor, matching those of No 29, a first floor 3-light casement in an embrasure that appears to have been reduced in height and, in the room over the passageway, a 12-pane C18 sash. Front door to No 5 on the right return with access from Cockles Lane. The rear wing to No 5 is gable-ended with a rear stack with brick shaft, casement window in gable end wall under an old timber lintel. No 5 has a tall, roughcast cob garden wall with tiled coping, probably replacing thatch. Interior: No 5 Cockles Lane has an interesting interior: the fireplace to the lateral stack has volcanic trap chamfered jambs and a massive chamfered volcanic lintel. Chamfered cross beam (stops buried in wall plaster) with original joists. Keeping place on rear wall. The present stair rises against the rear wall of the main room in the service wing. Roof: Both rear wing and main range are of C16 side-pegged jointed cruck construction. The main range roof apex inspected: mortised collars with through purlins, one purlin at the rear fire-charred. No 5 has one bay only. The remains of a cruck at the front, resting on the right end wall, suggests that there was originally a hipped roof to the right end of the main range and the room over Cockles Lane is secondary. This house is important, both as an example of a late medieval town house and as a rare survival in Crediton, where most of the ancient buildings in the town centre were destroyed by a series of fires in the C18.
