Northcott Cottage Pleasant Pleasant Cottage, Northcott Cottage and Rosebank Cottage Including Garden Railings to East and South Rosebank Cottage

Northcott Cottage, Pleasant Cottage, and Rosebank Cottage are three cottages believed to date from around 1740, with features typical of the mid-18th century and 19th-century additions. They are constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with rubble stacks topped by 19th and 20th-century brick, and have thatched roofs. The cottages form a row under a single roof, facing south, with a 19th-century room addition set back at the right (east) end.

Pleasant Cottage, on the left (west) end, has a two-room plan with a corner stack at the left rear. Northcott Cottage in the center also has a two-room plan with an axial stack in the left party wall. Rosebank Cottage, at the right (east) end, features one room in the main block with a rear corner stack and an additional room in the recessed section. All three cottages are two stories high.

The main block has a regular five-window front, while the addition has a sixth window. Both Pleasant Cottage and Northcott Cottage have symmetrical two-window fronts with central doorways and 20th-century slate monopitch roofed porches. The windows of Pleasant Cottage are 20th-century casements and sashes, most with glazing bars, while Northcott Cottage has 20th-century casements with glazing bars. Rosebank Cottage features 19th and 20th-century casements, with the door leading to a recessed room behind a 20th-century single-storey extension.

Only Pleasant Cottage was inspected internally, revealing plain carpentry details, a chamfered beam with run-out stops, and a diagonal corner rubble fireplace with a replacement lintel. It also includes a Bideford cloam oven with its pot door to the left. The property is enhanced by late 19th-century cast iron boundary spear railings with fleur-de-lis finials on the main verticals, brick footings, and ornate gateposts with a round-arched overthrow decorated with scroll work and twisted pieces, contributing to the group value of the cottages.
