Description
West Yeo Moor Cottages is a pair of cottages, probably from the 18th century. The front wall is made of coursed local rubble, while the end gable walls are constructed from rubble and cob, and the rear wall is in cob. The cottages have a hipped thatched roof and a tall 19th-century brick stack at one end.
The plan is asymmetrical, with each cottage featuring one main room with a gable end stack and two smaller inner rooms that back onto each other. The exterior is two storeys high with three asymmetrical bays, and the windows are 19th-century casements with horizontal glazing bars. There are two door openings with plank doors in simple wooden frames; the left door has a 20th-century corrugated-iron porch.
Inside, each principal ground floor room has a gable end fireplace with a wooden bressumer. The right room includes a brick-lined bread oven with a cast-iron door, while the left room has a fireplace blocked by a 20th-century stove. Both cottages have a simple boxed-in staircase with a door, and all rooms feature simple plank doors with iron latches. The roof is from the 18th century, with collars pegged to the face of the straight principals.
