BLACKMORE BLACKMORE ROAD Nos.1 AND 2 Little Jessops

(Formerly Listed as BRENTWOOD, BLACKMORE ROAD, Blackmore Little Jessops)

II

Pair of attached cottages. Early C19, extended in late C19. Timber-framed, weatherboarded and plastered, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. Rectangular plan facing approx N, with central stack. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Full-length 2-storey lean-to extension to rear, roofed with corrugated iron, and two C19 external stacks to rear of it. Each cottage has a small C20 conservatory to rear, between the stacks, different. No.1, on the left, has a 2-window range of original sashes of 6:6 lights, and an original plain door with a narrow canopy on simple profiled brackets. No.2, on the right, has 3 similar windows, but the upper left sash has been replaced by a casement; C20 half-glazed door with similar canopy. Painted brick plinth approx 0.7m high, all round. Side elevations plastered, remainder weatherboarded. Roof hipped. No.1 has, in the left elevation, on the ground floor, an original horizontal sash of 6:6 lights; the equivalent window in the right elevation of No.2 appears to have been altered. INTERIOR: No.2 has an introduced C17 moulded 3-plank ledged oak door between 2 ground-floor rooms, probably present since the rear extension was added. C20 grates. This building is shown on the tithe map of 1846. Its character depends on the simplicity of the original windows and door, and the weatherboarded and tiled surfaces.
