Details
SS 62 NW CHITTLEHAMPTON HIGH STREET (south side) Chittlehampton 1/150 Little Thatch - GV II Cottage. Probably late C17 extended and altered in C20. Painted rendered stone rubble and cob. Thatch roof with gable ends. Stone rubble stack heightened in brick at left end. Plan: interior altered in C20 to create essentially large single principal room with C20 extension, one room wide, at right end. The core originally consisted of a large kitchen/parlour to left, with entry, now blocked, into smaller room to right divided axially to form a small dairy at the rear beside the original staircase. Part of the original stone wall partition at the right end of the kitchen/parlour survives. There was an additional entrance formerly to the rear (roadside) at left end but now is at left gable end into C20 single storey gable ended porch which nevertheless incorporates the base of a lateral stack with bread oven in its rear wall - this formed part of a separate dwelling now demolished which stood at right angles adjoining left gable end of Little Thatch. 2 storeys. 2 window range. C20 fenestration. Right-hand ground floor window inserted into blocked doorway. Catslide thatch roof to C20 outshut and extension at right end. C20 gable-ended porch set back at left gable end has pantiled roof. Interior: chamfered cross ceiling beam, and narrow hollow moulded lintel to fireplace with bread oven to left-hand room.
