Description
Croyde Cottage is a house with probable origins in the 17th century, which was heightened and had its windows changed in the 19th century, with an extension added to the left gable end. The building features whitewashed rendered rubble and cob construction, topped with a slate roof that has brick stacks at each gable end and a large lateral stack at the front, which includes slated offsets and a projecting bread oven. The layout consists of a two-cell plan, with a 19th-century single-cell cottage added at the lower end. The house is two storeys high. The older section on the right has a three-window range of 20th-century sash windows. There is a rubble porch with a slate roof and a three-light 19th-century window to the left, with six panes in each light. The extension at the left end has a two-window range of two-light casements, each with six panes per light, alongside a similar casement to the left of a plank door. The interior has been significantly altered.
