Emmett'S Cottage And Barn Adjoining To West

Emmett's Cottage and the adjoining barn to the west are located in North Molton and date from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with a late 19th-century addition. The cottage features a ground floor made of uncoursed stone rubble and a first floor of rendered cob, while the 19th-century addition is built of uncoursed stone rubble with red-brick dressings. The building has a gable-ended roof, covered with corrugated asbestos on the part dating to around 1700 and Welsh slate on the 19th-century addition. There is a circa 1700 stone stack and a 19th-century red-brick stack.

The cottage has a one-room plan facing south, with an external end stack on the left, a winder staircase in the left-hand rear corner, and a front entrance to the right. A stud partition, likely a later addition, creates an entrance hall at the right-hand end of the room. To the right, there is a one-room 19th-century addition. The barn, added in the late 18th century, is to the left and features straight joints. The structure is two storeys high, with three windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, all late 19th-century two-light wooden casements. The windows in the right-hand 19th-century part have red-brick dressings. A segmental-headed window on the right-hand side of the ground floor was formerly a doorway. There is a central boarded door at the right-hand end of the 18th-century block, and a large external stack on the left-hand gable end with a projecting semi-circular bread oven visible in the barn. The rear of the cottage has two 19th-century windows, and the barn has a wide central entrance and a blocked doorway at the rear.

Inside the cottage, the circa 1700 part features two roughly-chamfered cross beams in the ground-floor room, while the first floor is divided by 19th-century partitions. The barn has a 20th-century five-bay roof and a loft at the left-hand end. This cottage is also known as West Park Cottage.
