ZEAL MONACHORUM SS 60 SE 3/62 East Newton - II
House, formerly 2 cottages. C17 with earlier core; united and modernised in late C19. Plastered cob on rubble footings; one original cob stack topped with C19 brick, one C19 brick replacement stack; thatch roof to main block and corrugated asbestos and slate-roofed secondary outshots. Originally a pair of 1-room plan cottages facing south-east, each room with an end stack. The right hand (north-eastern) room is largely original. The left hand (south-western) room was altered in late C19 with the insertion of a staircase and replacement of the chimney stack. Secondary outshots each end. 2 storeys. Irregular 3-window front of late C19 windows. The front door is now left of centre arid contains a late C19 panelled and part-glazed door. To left is a contemporary 4- pane horned sash. The others are late C19 casements with glazing bars and a fixed pane window with glazing bars at the right end is probably blocking a doorway to the right former cottage. The roof is hipped to left and gable ended to right. Both outshots have monopitch roofs. Interior: the right hand former cottage is well preserved. The stone rubble fireplace has an oak lintel; soffit-chamfered with exaggerated scroll stops. The ceiling here is carried on joists of large scantling. In the rear outer corner the winder stair is probably original as its doorway has a chamfered surround with scroll stops and the cupboard under the stairs has a panelled door with scratch mouldings. The room above has part of a simple moulded plaster cornice (but nevertheless surprisingly sophisticated for a house of this status). The 2-bay roof is carried on the original A-frame truss. The left former cottage appears to contain only C19 joinery and carpentry, although the owner reports no break in the front cob when the plaster was removed in 1984. The cob crosswall between the 2 former cottages shows the gable line of a pre-C17 lower building.
