Details
CULMSTOCK FORE STREET, Culmstock ST 11 SW 10/51 Cadbury House - - II House and shop. Mid C17, thoroughly refurbished and partly rebuilt in mid C19. Plastered stone rubble, maybe with some cob; stone rubble stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; slate roof. Plan and development: T-plan house. The main block faces onto Fore Street to the north and it has a 3-room plan. The left (east) end room is now a shop. The centre room has an axial stack between it and the shop which serves back-to-back fireplaces. Front lobby entrance onto the side of this stack and the main stair rises to rear of it. The right room has a gable-end stack. These front rooms were the principal rooms. The kitchen and services are in a rear block projecting at right angles to rear of the centre room. It was once 2 rooms but now they have been united. It has a lateral stack. Although the house was thoroughly refurbished in the mid C19, a process which involved raising the walls and putting on a new roof, the layout is mid C17. The right end stack however is a C19 insertion. House is 2 storeys. Exterior: regular but not symmetrical 4-window front with ground floor 16-pane sashes and smaller first floor 12-pane sashes. At the left end is a C20 shop front and shop door. Alongside to right is the lobby entrance which contains a C19 6- panel door with panelled reveals. To right the roof is gable-ended, to left it runs continously with that of Cadbury Cottage (q.v). Interior: is largely the result of the mid C19 refurbishment although there is C17 carpentry detail on the ground floor. All 3 rooms ground floor rooms of the main block have axial beams. That in the shop is boxed in, that in the centre room is soffit-chamfered and that in the right room is soffit-chamfered with long step stops. Only the centre room fireplace is open and it has a C19 pine chimneypiece. The rear block kitchen has a soffit-chamfered and scroll-stopped axial beam and the fireplace here is blocked. All the joinery detail is mid C19. The roof was not inspected. The mid C19 refurbishment of Cadbury House was associated with the erection of the adjoining Cadbury Cottage (q.v). Both form part of a group of listed buildings in the vicinity of the Church of All Saints (q.v.).
