GV II
2 cottages converted into a small house. Circa late C17, C20 renovations. Whitewashed rendered cob on stone rubble footings; slate roof to the left end, gabled at the left, thatched roof with gabled ends to the right; end stacks. The late C17 plan appears to have been 2 single cell cottages, the left-hand cottage with a projecting stair turret on the front at the left, the right-hand with a newel stair on the right at the rear. A slightly advanced single-storey block adjoins the left -hand end of the range and may have been an outbuilding or workshop which has been incorporated into the house accommodation. The C20 renovations have involved the removal of the right-hand stair and the introduction of a straight stair in the right-hand room against the party wall. 2 storeys. Irregular front elevation of 1+2 windows, the right-hand end thatched under a higher roof with the eaves thatch eyebrowed over 1 first floor window. The left-hand end, under a lower roofline has a slate roof carried down as a catslide over a rectangular stair turret at the left end, the adjoining left-hand block is slightly advanced. Half-glazed C20 door to the right of the stair turret, second C20 half-glazed door to the left-hand of the thatched end. 2-light C19 and C20 window of 2-, 4- and 6-panes with a 1-light timber stair window in the stair turret. Interior Ground floor left has a hollow-chamfered cross beam and an open fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel with brick jambs; china cupboard on right-hand wall; timber stair with oak treads and risers; chamfered, pegged doorway into single-storey block at left. A rear door, leading into a rear lean-to has a deep chamfered lintel. 2 roof trusses over the right-hand end are probably late C17 with halved pegged apexes and collars pegged directly on to the principal rafters. A pair of sympathetically renovated small late C17 cottages directly opposite Old Cawte Farm (qv) and forming a group.
