Little Green

Little Green is a house located on Dagmar Street in Shaldon, formerly dated to 1707. At one time, likely in the late 19th century, it was used as two cottages. The building features painted render over cob and a thatched roof with brick stacks at the gable ends. Originally designed with a three-unit plan, it has been extended by a mid-20th century unit on the right.

The exterior is two storeys high with a four-window range. It has 20th-century two-light casement windows at the eaves level, two early 19th-century six-over-six-pane sash windows on the ground floor to the left, and a late 19th-century four-panel door with a gabled tiled porch supported by brackets at the centre. A casement window is located to the far right.

Inside, the room on the ground floor to the left features an open fire with a timber lintel on the left-hand wall, a chamfered cross-beam with ogee stops that have been roughly cut away, and 19th-century panelled shutters at the windows. The room above it also has an open fire on the front of the left-hand wall, an ogee-stopped cross-beam, and a plaster ornament on the ceiling with two heart shapes—one containing the letters 'T E M' and the other marked with the year 1716. The room to the right has similar ceiling ornamentation with 'A C 1707' in the heart shapes. The roof is constructed with pegged collar-trusses and trenched purlins, hipped at the former right end. The 18th-century plasterwork is a notable example, reflecting the traditions of the 17th century.
