Description
No. 13 Fore Street is a cottage, likely built in the early 19th century. It features plastered cob on rubble footings and has a rubble and brick stack, topped with a thatched roof. The cottage has a small one-room plan and faces southwest, situated next to No. 12 Fore Street on the right, forming the northwestern end of a row of adjoining cottages. There is a rear diagonal corner stack. The building has two storeys and a two-window front, with late 19th to early 20th century casements with glazing bars on the first floor and a 20th century casement to the left of the plank door on the ground floor. The roof is hipped to the right. The interior has not been inspected. This cottage is the end of a row of 13 cottages, which together create the longest continuous run of thatch-roofed buildings in Devon, and likely the longest in England.
