CHULMLEIGH THE SQUARE, Chulmleigh sS 6814-6914 7/110 London House and Colnet House GV II House, now divided into 2 occupations. Circa 1870 with early C20 alterations and rear extension. Rendered stone rubble, rear portions brick. Slate roof with timber cornice and brick end stacks. Stack to gable end of rear kitchen range.

Passage leads to 2-storey gable-ended rear kitchen wing with cellar to rear of right-hand room forming L-shaped plan, and to principal dog-leg staircase on left side in gabled stair projection at right angles to the passage to rear of middle room in the angle of the L-shape. The division of the 2 properties occurs on the left side of the entrance passage, but Colnet House on tie right retains the principal staircase. Interior of London House altered in C20, the large room at the left end having been divided into 2 and a staircase added to the rear of the resulting 'entrance' hall. The staircase forms part of a 2-storey gable-ended rear wing added when the house was divided into 2 occupations to provide a kitchen wing to London House at the left end, and a shared covered courtyard between the 2 properties to the rear of the 2 staircases. Exterior: 2 storeys. 4-window range in all. All late C19 12 paned sashes with margin glazing bars except for second bay from left which has narrow 4 paned sash with margin glazing bars above 6 panelled door with overlight.
