Description

High Down Cottage is a cottage that was originally divided into two separate homes. It dates from the 18th century and has undergone alterations in the 20th century. The exterior features rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a half-hipped thatch roof. There is a brick chimney stack at the right end and another stack made of brick and stone rubble at the rear left corner, which has a projecting bread oven.

The original layout has been obscured by 20th-century changes, but it likely consisted of two single-cell cottages that have been converted into two principal rooms on either side of a passage. The cottage is two storeys high and has a three-window range with late 19th-century to early 20th-century casements, each with two lights. A timber boarded porch with a gabled pantiled roof and a plank door, which has a glazed upper part, is also present. A 20th-century window has been inserted in a blocked doorway, second from the left end. At the rear, there are two original 18th-century two-light casements with rectangular leaded panes. The interior has been altered.
