Details
CLYST ST LAWRENCE ST 00 SW Mount Pleasant Cottage 2/51 - II GV
Farmhouse. Early-mid C17, maybe earlier core, modernised circa 1980 when an adjoining barn was brought into domestic use. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble stacks with plastered shafts: thatch roof. Plan: the house faces south-south-east, say south, and is built down the hillslope. The C17 house occupies the centre and left (west) end. It has a 3-room lobby entrance plan. The room downhill at the left end was probably the kitchen and the centre one a parlour or hall. An axial stack between kitchen and parlour serves back-to-back fireplaces and the lobby entrance is in front of the stack. The unheated room next to the parlour was probably the buttery or dairy. A barn adjoining the right (east) end has been brought into domestic use and a stack was inserted at the same time. 2 storeys. Exterior: 5:2-window front of C20 casements with glazing bars. The 5-window section coincides with the C17 house and here the first floor windows have thatch eyebrows over. The lobby entrance doorway is left of centre and it contains a C20 panelled door behind a contemporary thatch roofed porch. Roof is hipped to right and half- hipped to left. Interior was not available for inspection at the time of this survey but it is said to include a great deal of original carpentry detail including an oak plank-and- muntin screen between hall/parlour and the dairy/buttery.
