2/83 Budleigh Cottage
GV II
House. Late C16/early C17 origins with later alterations. A circa early C18 wing may have been a separate 1 room plan cottage, C20 repair. Whitewashed, plastered cob and stone rubble; thatched roof, gabled at ends; right end stack and front lateral stack to main range end stack to north wing. Plan: T plan. A single depth south-facing main range, 2 rooms wide with a third, narrow room at the left (west) end. A one-room plan north wing at right angles may have been a separate single cell cottage as there is no sign of internal access the main range. A single-storey south wing a right angles probably served as the village shop. The main range has a rear outshut, formerly a dairy, which has been turned into a kitchen. The plan of the main range is puzzling; at the left (west) end there is only a thin partition wall between Budleigh Cottage and the adjoining house Castle Comer, suggesting a single build originally. The corner fireplace served by the lateral stack is circa 1700 but may be an adapation of an earlier fireplace. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window garden front with a C20 door and doorway to the left. 2- and 3-light C19 or C20 timber casement windows, 3 to the first floor, 2 to the ground floor. The single-storey wing has a door on the inner return and a later C20 4-light timber window in the end wall. The right return, which is the street elevation, is attractively irregular with a probably early C20 24-pane fixed shop window, 2 3-light timber casements (probably C20) to the gable end of the main range and a door and 2 C19 small-pane timber casements to the north wing. Interior: The right hand (east) room of the main range has a rough crossbeam and an open fireplace with a bread oven and a replaced lintel. The centre room has an angle fireplace of hand made bricks and a plain, possibly late C17/early C18 plank and muntin partition with the left hand room. The stair rises in a passage to the rear of the centre room. The north (rear) wing has an open fireplace with a chamfered lintel. Roof: 2 side-pegged jointed cruck trusses survive over the right hand (east) end of the house, they are not smoke-blackened. An attractive, irregular traditional house in the centre of Kerswell village.
