CHAGFORD GREAT WEEKE SX 78 NW
4/109 Great Weeke Cottage 20.2.52
GV II
House. Dated 1692, possibly with an earlier core, refurbished and partly rebuilt in mid or late C19, modernised in 1972. Plastered granite rubble, exposed on south side; granite stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan: 2-room plan house facing west with central through-passage. Gable end stacks, the left one projecting. Each room has a stair to rear of the fireplace. Outshots to rear, the one behind the right room is original. Right end wall rebuilt in C19. Main house is 2 storeys. Exterior: symmetrical 3-window front of C20 casements with glazing bars. Central front passage door now contains a C20 plank door. There are small gables over the first floor. The central gable has a crudely executed inscription; WN E with the date 1698. The left gable has a similar inscription recording the 1972 modernisation. The plaster render is lightly inscribed as ashlar, not so where it has been patched. Roof is gable-ended. The left stack has weathered offsets. The right (south) side is the C19 rebuild and the casements here have brick segmental arches over. Interior: only limited interior access was possible at the time of survey. Both sides of the passage are lined by oak plank-and-muntin screens with moulded shallow- moulded muntins. The left room has a plain soffit-chamfered crossbeam. The fireplace is blocked by a C20 grate. The other rooms and the roof were not inspected. Great Weeke Farm Cottage is one of a number of listed buildings in the hamlet of Great Weeke.
