Details
YARCOMBE ST 20 NW 7/160 Emmets - - II Cottage, formerly 2 cottages. Probably C18, modernised in the late C19 - early C20. Plastered local stone and flint rubble; stone rubble stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof. Plan: the cottage is built on high ground near the top of a ridge. It is built across the hillslope facing east and overlooking the Yarty Valley. It has a 3-room plan. At the right (north) end is the kitchen with a gable-end plan. At the right (north) end is the kitchen with a gable-end stack. In the centre is an unheated service room and the stair, and at the left (south) end is the parlour with a gable- end stack. Although it seems that it was formerly 2 cottages (e.g. there is evidence of 2 front doorways) it is not clear how they were divided. 2 storeys with lean-to service outshots to rear. Exterior: irregular 3-window front of late C19 and C20 casements with glazing bars. The front doorway is right of centre and contains a late C19 plank door behind a contemporary gabled porch. The blocking of a second front doorway shows left of centre. The roof is gable-ended. Interior: is largely the result of late C19 and C20 modernisations. No carpentry detail is exposed except for the chamfered oak lintel of the kitchen fireplace. Roof not inspected.
