Bullapit Hill Cottage

Bullapit Hill Cottage is a house dating from around the mid-17th century. It is constructed of rendered and painted stone rubble and cob, with a thatched roof and stone rubble end stacks with brick shafts. The house was converted from two single-room cottages around the mid-19th century. It’s possible the original plan was a two-room and cross passage layout, with end stacks for heating, and has since reverted to that arrangement. A small 20th-century extension is located to the rear left.

The front of the house presents a nearly symmetrical three-window frontage. A 20th-century plank door is set within a slate open porch to the left of centre, and a 20th-century glazed double door is situated in a similar 19th-century porch to the right of centre. The ground floor has a circa 19th-century one-light casement in the centre, and two 20th-century two-light casements on the far right and left. Three 19th-century two-light casements are on the first floor.

The first floor has been replaced in the 19th or 20th century with unmoulded cross beams and slight unmoulded floor joists. Fireplaces feature clom ovens and replaced lintels. One lintel has been repurposed as a garden seat outside and is chamfered with a straight-cut stop. The first-floor and roof structure were not inspected.
