Cressy Cottage

Cressy Cottage is a detached village house located in Tamerton Foliot, dating from the 18th century with slight later extensions. The building features painted rubble walls and mostly wooden lintels, topped by an asbestos slate hipped roof. It has a rendered end stack on the left and an axial stack over the original end wall, which later became the cross wall towards the right. The layout consists of a single-depth plan with two rooms flanking a central entrance hall, later extended with a one-room-plan wing on the right and a similarly sized wing at right angles to the rear left. The cottage is two storeys high and has a three-to-one window range. The ground-floor left window is a late 19th-century four-pane horned sash, while the other windows are 20th-century horned sashes with glazing bars. The doorway under the second window from the left features an old panelled door with flush bottom panels, and the top four panels have been later glazed. The interior has not been inspected but may hold interest.
