The Cabbage Patch

The Cabbage Patch is a house and shop located on Fore Street in St Columb Major, dating from the early 19th century, with later alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of stone rubble, with the front painted and slate-hung, and features an asbestos slate hipped roof. It has a double depth plan, with the front rooms currently functioning as one shop; originally, there was a narrow shop on the left and a wider shop on the right, which was likely modified in the late 19th century, possibly remodelling an earlier shop.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window front. The first floor has three 12-pane sash windows from the 19th century in exposed boxes. The ground floor features a projecting late 19th-century double shop front on the right, which includes a large six-pane window to the right and a central half-glazed door. This section has a fascia and cornice supported by consoles. There is a similar six-pane shop window to the left, accompanied by a half-glazed door, fascia, and cornice. A shallow pitched roof extends continuously over the shop fronts, which project at the ground floor. The right side of the building is rendered and includes a 20th-century window at ground floor level on both the left and right, along with a central 20th-century door featuring an overlight and cornice on consoles. The first floor has a 12-pane sash window and a 4-pane sash window. The interior has not been inspected.
