The Nook

The Nook is a cottage, likely dating from the 17th or early 18th century. It is built of rendered stone rubble, possibly with some cob, and has an asbestos slate roof with gabled ends and red clay ridge tiles. A stack at the left-hand gable end has a tapered rendered shaft with slate weathering. Originally, the cottage had a single-room plan with a doorway on the right of the front and a heating source from the stack at the left end.

The front of the cottage is asymmetrical, with two windows on the first floor, each featuring 2 lights and glazing bars. Below, a larger 3-light casement sits on the left, and a doorway with a 19th-century plank door and a slated lean-to canopy projecting from wooden cantilevers is positioned to the right. A copper insurance plaque, inscribed "West of England Exeter," is located centrally on the first floor. The rear elevation has not been inspected.

Inside, closely-spaced chamfered cross-beams are visible, their stops concealed by wallpaper. The fireplace on the left end has a chamfered timber lintel. Beside the stack is a winder staircase. A chamfered wooden frame surrounds a blocked opening in the rear wall. The first-floor roof structure was not inspected.
