Eastcott, Including Garden Boundary Walls

Eastcott is a cottage that likely dates from the 18th century and was extended and altered in the 19th century. It is built from colourwashed stone rubble and cob, topped with a thatched roof that has a half-hipped end on the right. There is a stone rubble stack with offsets, which has been heightened in brick and features a bread oven projection at the left gable end. A small brick stack from the 20th century is located at the rear right end.

The cottage has a two-room layout with a central staircase. The right-hand room has been partitioned to create a front passage leading to a probable 19th-century addition, which was used as a lofted outbuilding until the early 20th century. The exterior is two storeys high and features a two-window range, primarily with early 20th-century fenestration. There are two two-light casements on the left side, each with three panes per light. The ground floor has two three-light casements, with the left side having two panes per light next to a four-panelled door, of which the upper two panels are glazed. To the right of the door is a small two-light casement. There is a similar door with a blocked loft door above, located near the angle of the coal-shed/scullery outshut, which has a catslide thatched roof projecting forward at the right end.

Inside, the larger left-hand room has a fireplace that is probably concealed behind a 20th-century grate, and there are no exposed ceiling beams. The right-hand room has exposed rough joists. The staircase, which is straight-run and from the early 20th century, suggests that there was originally direct entry into the left-hand room. The roof structure is likely from the 18th century, featuring straight-pegged principals of light scantling with waney rafters and purlins.

Eastcott is set well back from East Street and is built at right angles to it. The garden is enclosed by cob walls, with the right-hand wall incorporating a single surviving bee-bole.
