Bay Cottage Including Front Garden Wall To East

Bay Cottage, likely built in the 18th century, is a cottage made of painted stone rubble with an asbestos slate roof that is hipped at the left end and gabled at the right end, adjoining Holly House. The cottage has a two-room layout with a through passage. The right room is heated by a gable end stack, while the larger left room is heated by a rear lateral stack. A 20th-century winder staircase rises from the back of the left room. In the 19th century, a small single-storey outbuilding was added to the rear of the left end.

The exterior features two storeys and an asymmetrical three-window front facing east. The left-hand first-floor window is blocked, while the ground floor has a 20th-century two-light casement with glazing bars and a timber lintel above the right window. The central doorway has a 20th-century panelled door and a gabled porch. The left end has 20th-century casements, and at the rear, there is a central plank door and a 19th-century single-storey outbuilding to the right.

The front garden is enclosed by a wall, probably dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, made of local limestone and slate rubble with a slate capping. This retaining wall is higher at the left end, where the road slopes steeply down to the River Dart, and lower at the right end, which features a gateway and a conduit head in a brick surround.

Inside, some 19th-century joinery remains, including plank doors. The fireplace in the right gable end has been blocked, and the lintel of the rear lateral fireplace in the left room has been replaced. The roof includes late 19th-century or early 20th-century pegged softwood trusses.
