Church House

Church House is a cottage, likely dating from the 17th century. It is built of whitewashed rendered stone with a thatched roof, hipped at the right end and gabled at the left. A large, projecting rear lateral stack with a bread oven is a notable feature. The building appears to have a plan consisting of two rooms. A single-storey lean-to with a slate roof is situated at the left end. The front of the cottage has an asymmetrical two-window facade, with steps leading up to a 20th-century glazed porch in the centre. There are two small first-floor and two ground-floor timber casement windows with glazing bars. The rear elevation, facing the road, is largely blank except for one ground-floor, two-light window. The interior has not been inspected, but may be of interest. This is a very unspoiled, small, traditional cottage with group value in relation to the adjacent church. It is depicted in the distance in Swete’s "Picturesque Sketches of Devon," volume 11 (1795), a manuscript held by the Devon Record Office.
