Old Post Office Cottages

ST 01 SE UFFCULME CRADDOCK 4/172 Old Post Office Cottages - II Pair of cottages. Possibly C17 with later alterations and extensions. Plastered cob and rubble; gable end pantiled roof. Originally a 3-room, through-passage plan house, the higher end to the left of the passage; the service end has been extended, probably in the C19. The hall is heated by an axial stack at the higher end, but as this room was not examined it was impossible to confirm whether or not this is the original position. Service end heated by an external end stack, as is the service end extension; all stacks with brick shafts. 2 storeys. Exterior Front: the early house is 4 window range; first floor with C19 3-light casement windows; ground floor: 4-light C20 casement window to hall; 3-light windows to service end and inner room. Half glazed door to passage with rectangular overlight; C19 latticed porch. The service end extension has two 3-light casement windows to ground floor only, one of them C19. Interior (not thoroughly inspected): jointed cruck truss to higher end of hall where there is also a rear stair, probably a rebuilt winder. Rough ceiling beams to service end.
