Lower Cobberton

This is a house, likely dating to the late 17th or early 18th century, with extensions added around the late 18th century. It is constructed of local limestone rubble, with rendering on the rear elevation, and has a Welsh slate roof, south-gabled to the left and half-hipped to the right. A hipped roof covers the rear wing. A rendered stack projects from the front of the house.

The building retains portions of a three- or two-room-plan house. The lower room has a front lateral stack. A short, late 18th-century wing is located behind the passage, and at the lower right end is a single-story, one-room addition from the 19th century. The upper left-hand end of the house has been demolished; it was formerly used as a mill.

The front facade is asymmetrical with a two-window range. It features late 19th-century two-light casement windows with glazing bars. A passage doorway is positioned on the left, with remnants of the original wooden frame, now fitted with a 20th-century glazed door and a corrugated iron hood. A projecting front lateral stack sits to the right of centre, featuring a set-off and tall rendered shaft. To the right, at the lower end, is a slightly advanced, single-story addition with a hipped scantle slate roof and a late 19th-century two-light casement window with glazing bars. A section of the front wall remains on the left, indicating the former location of the higher end of the house.

The rear elevation features 19th-century four-light casement windows with glazing bars on the ground and first floors. A projecting wing has a later 19th-century first-floor casement window with glazing bars and a large 20th-century metal frame casement window on the ground floor. The single-story addition on the left has a late 19th-century plank door and a two-light casement window with glazing bars within a segmental arched opening. Disturbed masonry and a rendered patch are visible at the higher left-hand gable end, possibly marking the removal of a former axial stack from the hall.

Inside, the passage is blocked at the rear. A solid wall separates the passage and the main room. The main room has exposed heavy, undressed joists and a front lateral fireplace with a cambered arch and dressed stone rubble jambs, but without an oven. The rear wing contains 20th-century stairs. The first floor has two 18th-century fielded six-panel doors.

The roof structure consists of three trusses with straight principal rafters and lapped and pegged collars.
