Description
Nymet is a cottage that likely dates from the 18th century, although earlier building materials may be hidden beneath the surface. It features painted rendered stone rubble and cob construction, topped with a thatched roof that has gable ends. There is a brick stack at the left end of the building. The layout includes a principal room on each side of the entrance passage; the right-hand room is unheated, and beyond it is a narrow room at the right end. A straight-joint to the right of the porch indicates significant rebuilding during the 18th or early 19th century, suggesting that the cottage may have once been divided into two separate living spaces.
The cottage is two storeys high and has a three-window range, all of which contain 20th-century two-light casements. On the ground floor, there is a three-light casement with three panes per light to the left of a 20th-century porch that has a gabled slate roof. To the right, there is one two-light casement and two three-light casements. The interior has been largely altered in the 20th century, but the right-hand room retains a rough chamfered cross ceiling beam. The roof has not been inspected.
