Great Nettacott

Great Nettacott is a house with an early 16th century core that underwent remodelling in the 17th century and was reduced to a single storey in the 20th century. It is constructed of cob on a stone plinth and features a 20th-century concrete tiled roof. The house has a three-room plan with a through passage and a dairy extension at the rear. There are two remaining stacks, one at the right-hand end and another at the back, which was formerly external but is now enclosed by a later corridor. A third external stack at the left-hand end has been dismantled, and a 20th-century room has been added behind it. Notably, a wagon roof, which is rare in Devon's secular buildings, has been removed. The single-storey range has four windows, with only one original window remaining in the inner room on the right-hand side. This window has 20 lights, is square-headed, and features a wooden frame with a transom and mullions. The other windows are 20th-century casements. The front wall has four large 20th-century brick buttresses.

Inside, the through passage is flanked on the right by a plank and muntin screen leading to the hall, which is chamfered with pyramid stops. On the left, there is a post and plastered cob screen. Both the hall and inner chamber have retained their fireplaces, which are similar in form, with the hall fireplace being larger and featuring an exposed stone relieving arch and tympanum above the lintel. Both rooms also have chamfered ceiling beams. The kitchen, located to the left of the passage, once contained a large fireplace, of which only the relieving arch and side-oven remain. The projecting dairy has a heavily-chamfered beam. Great Nettacott is one of only three documented cases of a wagon roof in a secular context, alongside Fishleigh Barton in Tawstock and Woodbeare Court in Plymtree.
