Description
Southcott Cottage East is a house that was originally built in the 18th century and includes a 20th-century addition. The structure is likely made of cob, partly whitewashed and rendered, with a front that is hung with thick slates. It features a slate roof with brick chimneys, including a right gable end stack set off to the rear. The layout consists of a single depth, two-room plan with a rear outshut. There is an attached stable at the left end, which has a loft above and a hipped gable, and this area is now part of the house accommodation. The rear outshut has been heightened into a flat-roofed, two-storey extension at the rear left. The main building is two storeys high and has a two-window range with small, irregularly spaced two-light casements that have glazing bars, set in deep slate-hung reveals. There is an enclosed, gabled porch located centrally to the ground floor windows. An attached outbuilding is set back slightly from the main house and is rendered and whitewashed, featuring a two-light casement above the stable doorway with a plank. The ground floor room on the right has widely spaced floor beams.
