TALATON SY 09 NE 6/169 Nos 1, 2 and 3 Ivy Cottages - - II
3 cottages, made by subdividing a farmhouse. Early - mid C18, some C19 modernisation, more circa 1950 when the farmhouse was subdivided. Plastered brick (the previous list description reports exposed "red brick with dark headers"); brick stacks and chimneyshafts; thatch roof. Plan: 3 cottages in a former farmhouse. The farmhouse has a U-plan. The main block faces north-east and it has a 3-room-and-cross-passage plan. The left (south- eastern) room was originally the parlour and has a rear lateral stack. This stack serves back-to-back fireplaces and there is a 1-room plan rear block projecting to rear. Alongside the parlour is the cross passage which leads back to the original main stair block projecting to rear. This passage, stair, parlour and rear block now makes up No 1. The centre room of the main block was originally a dining room with a rear lateral stack. This is now No 2 and No 3 occupies the former kitchen at the right end with a gable-end stack and also occupies the former dairy/service block which projects at right angles to rear and overlaps the end. This is apparently a single phase early - mid C18 building. 2 storeys. Exterior: irregular 4-window front overall, all C20 casements with glazing bars. The doorway left of centre (to No 1) is the original front doorway and it contains a C19 part-glazed panelled door. No 2 has a front doorway a little eight of centre; it contains a C20 door and No 3 has a C20 door in a C20 lean-to porch on the right end. The lain roof is half-hipped to left and gable-ended to right. Interior: is somewhat modernised in the C20 but the structure and some joinery is original. The main stair (in No 1) is an original dogleg stair; open string with shaped stair brackets, turned newel posts, moulded flat handrail and thick stick balusters to the main flights and turned balusters to the landing balustrade. Most fireplaces are blocked but that in the rear block of No 1 is exposed; brick with curving pentan (back) and plain oak lintel. The kitchen fireplace in No 3 has been much rebuilt. Some fielded 2-panel doors. Roof of A-frame trusses with pegged and spiked lap-jointed collars. Single phase farmhouses of this date are very rare in Devon since this was the time of decline in Devon's traditional woollen industry.
