SY 18 NE BRANSCOMBE BRANSCOMBE

7/37 Rosechurch Cottage - GV II Cottage. Probably C18 and C19, renovated circa 1980. Exposed local stone rubble; stone rubble stacks with plastered brick chimneyshafts; thatch roof, concrete tile roof to early C20 roof. Plan: 3-room plan cottage facing south-east. The left (south-west) room has an axial stack backing onto the centre room and the right room has a gable-end stack. In fact there is a straight join between the left and centre rooms. The left room appears to have been a 1-room plan cottage. It was enlarged or another cottage was built alongside; the evidence is not clear. In the early C20 a sun room extension was added onto the left end. Cottage is 2 storeys. Exterior: irregular 4-window front of C19 and C20 casements with glazing bars and including a small C20 canted bay window right of centre. The front doorway is at the left end, and it includes a C20 part-glazed door behind a contemporary thatch- roofed porch. The front was evidently stuccoed in the C19 since a quoin strip survives at the left end. The C20 extension at the left end includes an arch-headed doorway. The roof is gable-ended. Interior was not available for inspection at the time of this survey.
