DITTISHAM SX8654-SX8754 MANOR STREET 17/299 DITTISHAM (South side), Laburnum cottage
GV II
Cottage. Circa late C15 or early C16, remodelled in C17 and extended in circa C19 and late C20. Stone rubble, roughcast and painted. Asbestos tile roof, half-hipped at the right hand end and gabled at the left hand end. Truncated rear lateral stack is not externally visible. Plan: Situated at right angles with a rear lateral stack and has direct entry from a doorway at the front towards the right hand end. A narrow room has been subsequently partitioned off at the lower right hand end. It is probably part of a larger house which must have extended further to the left although the ground at this end rises steeply. It may have also continued to the right perhaps only one bay because of the road at this end. At least this part of the original house was inserted and a lateral stack built at the back; the house was probably truncated at this time. Probably in the C19 a narrow outbuilding was built set back at the higher left hand end, it was heightened in the C20 and incorporated into the living accommodation. later in the C20 a single storey extension was built at the front of the former outbuilding. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2-window east front. 2 circa late C19 or early C20 2-light casements on the first floor with glazing bars. Ground floor has C20 2-light casement to left of centre and a C20 glazled door to the right of centre with a late C20 gabled canopy on brackets. A weathered dripcourse over the left hand ground floor window continues to the left. The extreme right hand end of the front is recessed slightly. The ground is at higher level at the left hand end where there is a wing set back; it has a large C20 plate glass first floor window and has been built out at the front with a late C20 single storey extension. The right hand gable end facing the road has a C20 2-light casement with glazing bars. The ground is at higher level at the back and there are no openings in the rear wall. Interior: A chamfered cross-beam without stops; the other main cross-beam is boxed in. The fireplace in the rear wall has been infilled with a C20 fireplace. Roof: There are 4 trusses with unmchamfered cranked collars morticed into straight principals with 3 tiers of threaded purlins and trenching for the mkssing diagonal ridgepiece. Some of the original rafters ruvive. The roof is smoke-blackened heavily at the right hand end and progresively less blackened towards the left end. The left end truss is close to the left hand end of the range suggesting the house continued further at this end.
