Box Cottage

Box Cottage is a cottage dating from the 18th century, and possibly earlier. It is constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with stone rubble or brick stacks topped with 19th or 20th-century brick. The cottage features a thatched roof and has a two-room plan, facing south-south-east. There is a gable-end stack in each room and rear outshots. The building is two storeys high and has a symmetrical two-window front with replacement casements from the 19th and 20th centuries, which include glazing bars. The central doorway has a late 19th-century six-panel door and is sheltered by a 20th-century monopitch tile-roofed porch. The roof is gable-ended. The interior was not available for inspection at the time of the survey. Box Cottage is part of a group of attractive listed buildings along Otterton Fore Street.
