Cottage Including Stable Attached At West End At North West Corner Of The Square Adjoining To Rear Of Public Conveniences

This building is a cottage with an attached stable, located at the north-west corner of the Square in Chittlehampton. It likely dates from the early 18th century, although earlier materials may be hidden within its structure. The exterior features painted roughcast rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a thatched roof with gable ends. There is a brick chimney stack on the left end and a stone rubble stack with a tapered cap, heightened in brick, at the rear right-hand corner.

The cottage has a basic two-room layout, with an integral rear outshut that contains a staircase. A small dairy-pantry has been removed from the front right-hand corner of the left-hand principal room. The right-hand room was separately occupied within living memory, which included a second inserted staircase in the rear outshut. The entrance leads directly into the left-hand principal room, with a doorway at the right end of the rear outshut.

The building is two storeys high and has a three-window range, featuring all two-light casements with two panes per light. The ground floor includes a leanto 20th-century porch at the left end, and three two-light casements to the right, with the central one having three panes per light and the outer windows two panes per light. There are also two small windows with leaded lights at the right end of the rear outshut.

The lofted stable at the left end has a half-hipped corrugated iron roof. Inside, the left-hand room features large square cut cross ceiling joists. Original fireplaces likely remain behind the 20th-century ones in the two principal rooms, and much of the 19th-century joinery is still intact. Access to the roof space is not available, but the truss over the right-hand room appears to have been replaced, while the original truss survives over the left-hand room.
