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.
