LYNTON AND LYNMOUTH, Lynmouth, MARS HILL, Seabreeze Cottage

(Formerly listed as No. 1 Seabreeze Cottage, LYNMOUTH STREET (West side).

Previously listed as: Skye Cottage, MARS HILL, LYNTON)

19/07/50

GV II

House at end of row. Early to mid C19, possibly incorporating some earlier work. Rendered, thatch roof. A single-depth cottage at the end of the row which climbs Mars Hill to the left. 2 storeys; irregular 3-window range. The first floor has a margin-pane French window to a balcony in 3 bays of wood balustrading to the left, and, with lintels at a lower level, two 2-light small-pane casements, all in plain reveals. The ground floor has an early display window in 20 panes, with curved glass returns; to the left is a C19 door, and to the right a C20 door, all contained under the balcony, which has glazed cheeks. To the right, centred between the windows above, is a broad 2-light small-pane casement. The eaves has a scalloped fretted board set forward from the wall plane The right gable, with stack, has a raised verge with slate coping on a kneeler to the front, a 2-light casement at first floor, matching those to the front, and a smaller glass block light to the ground floor. The bottom half of the corner here is rounded, and the rear is set to a curve running into a set back outshut. The rear wall has some 4-pane sashes, and one small 12-pane. INTERIOR not generally accessible, but may be of interest. The ground floor retains some flagstone paving, and the end room to the right has a range under a bressumer, and with bread oven. The scale of the building suggests early origins, and its position corresponds with the earliest settlement here. An early photograph (Loveless) shows that there was a 16-pane sash to the right of the (overgrown) balcony, and only one 2-light casement at this upper level. (Loveless J: Reflections on Lynton and Lynmouth, Old and New: Plymouth: 1989-).
