Description
This outbuilding, located immediately north-east of Colcombe Castle House, dates from the early 16th century. It is a remnant of a larger house, believed to have served as the kitchen with a room above. Currently, it is a single-storey structure with a flat corrugated asbestos roof. The building is constructed from stone rubble, featuring dressed stone quoins and a plinth. On the west side, there is a large four-light chamfered stone mullion window that retains remnants of a dripmould, along with a heavy pointed arch timber doorframe. A similar doorframe is found on the east side. The interior once housed a wide fireplace and moulded ceiling beams, but these have since been removed. The outbuilding is situated on the site of Colcombe Castle, which was one of the residences of the Courtenays, Earls of Devon, originally built in the 13th century and extensively rebuilt in the 16th century.
