Description
No. 10 Quashbrook and Dew Cottage are two adjoining cottages located on Exmouth Road in Colaton Raleigh, likely built in the late 18th to early 19th century. They are constructed with plastered cob on stone rubble footings and feature stone rubble or brick stacks topped with 19th-century brick, including one Rolle estate chimney pot. The roofs are thatched.
No. 10 Quashbrook is designed as a two-room plan cottage with an axial stack in the party wall, which backs onto Dew Cottage, located to the left (west). Dew Cottage has a one-room plan with a rear lateral stack and a kitchen outshot added in 1985 on the left end. Both cottages are two storeys high.
The front of each cottage has two windows featuring 19th-century casements with glazing bars. No. 10 Quashbrook has a nearly symmetrical arrangement around a central 20th-century plank door, while Dew Cottage has an irregular layout with a stable-type door added in 1985 on the left end. The roof of No. 10 butts against the adjoining property on the right and is hipped at the left end.
Inside, neither cottage retains any original carpentry details, and all joinery is from the 19th or 20th century. The fireplaces in both cottages are either blocked or have been rebuilt. Notably, the stack of No. 10 Quashbrook projects into Dew Cottage, indicating that it may have originally been an external end stack, suggesting that Dew Cottage was built slightly later than its neighbor.
