Description
This is an 18th-century cottage located on the north-east side of Fore Street in Morchard Bishop, situated between numbers 4 and 6. It is built with plastered cob walls on rubble footings, featuring a rubble stack topped with 20th-century brick and a thatched roof. The cottage originally had a 2-room plan, with a central entrance facing south-west and a stack serving the larger left-hand (north-western) room. The front elevation has a symmetrical arrangement of two windows, which are late 19th or early 20th-century 3-light casements with glazing bars, a central door. The interior retains plain carpentry details. This cottage is part of a row of thatched buildings in Devon and is thought to be the longest continuous run of thatched buildings in England.
