Description
Hillside is a cottage dating from the 18th century, located on the north-east side of Fore Street in Morchard Bishop. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with a rubble stack topped by 20th-century brick and a thatched roof. The cottage has a two-room plan and faces south-west, featuring an end stack that serves the larger room on the right (southeastern side). There are service outshots at the rear. The building is two storeys high and has an irregular two-window front with 20th-century casements that include glazing bars. The door is slightly left of centre and is accompanied by a 20th-century gabled porch. The roof is gable-ended, and the interior displays plain carpentry detail. This cottage is part of a row of 13, which forms the longest continuous run of thatch-roofed buildings in Devon and likely the longest in England.
