Plowden Hall

Plowden Hall is likely a former coach house and cottages, which have been converted into two cottages. It dates from the early to mid 18th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid to late 19th century to the north. The building is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and has remnants of what was probably roughcasting, along with a late 19th-century slate roof.

The structure is two storeys high, featuring raised quoins and three late 19th-century brick stacks at the rear. The slightly projecting centre includes a depressed-arched carriageway with an ashlar surround, impost blocks, a projecting dropped keystone, and late 19th-century glazing, which includes two four-panelled doors with flush bottom panels and raised, fielded top panels. Above the carriageway is a former blind Serliana, truncated by the 19th-century re-roofing, with a corbelled cill.

The flanking cottages have two window fronts, featuring late 19th-century two-light casements with ashlar lintels and projecting dropped keystones. Each cottage has a central four-panelled door, similar in design to those at the carriageway, with three-part overlights. The gable end to the west displays a blind Serliana with a keystone, and there are two steps leading to a ground floor boarded door, which has an ashlar lintel and a projecting dropped keystone.

Inside, there is probably a late 19th-century dog-leg staircase in the central part, featuring stick balusters, square newel posts, and a moulded handrail. There is also a late 19th-century kitchen range with a segmental-arched lintel.
