Description
Goonglaze Cottages are three adjoining cottages, now used as a house and one cottage, likely dating from the 18th century, with some parts possibly older. The building features painted and partly rendered rubble and cob, with some 20th-century replacement of cob and a simulated cob surface on the right. It has a wheat reed thatched T-plan roof with brick chimneys at the gable ends, an outbuilt stack on the left, and a rear corrugated asbestos roof over an outshut.
The irregular T-shaped plan includes a remodelled 18th-century layout from the 20th century, resulting in three large rooms at the front and a self-contained one-room cottage at the rear towards the left. There is a 19th-century outshut behind the right-hand side. The exterior is two storeys high with an overall irregular five-window front, where most openings are original or in their original positions. The doors are 20th-century ledged doors, and there are 20th-century six-pane horned sashes. Inside, there are some 18th-century ceiling beams at the left-hand end, parts of the 18th-century roof structure, and a 19th-century first-floor structure with wide floorboards in the 19th-century outshut.
