House. C17 or earlier. Whitewashed rendered cob and stone rubble ; thatched roof, hipped at right end, half-hipped at left end ; left end stack, large projecting lateral stack on front with tall rendered shaft. Plan: Access to interior unobtainable at time of survey (1987) so details of plan uncertain but it appears to be a single depth main block, 2 rooms wide, the rear right outshut with a catslide roof may be integral or a later addition ; C20 addition at right end. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2 window front, the eaves thatch eyebrowed over 2 first floor windows ; C20 lean-to porch on front to left of centre with an inner door to the left of the lateral stack ; 2-light C20 casement windows with glazing bars. The left return, facing the road, has 2 casement windows. Interior: Not inspected but said to have exposed ceiling beams (information from owner): an interior inspection might necessitate revising the suggested dating. An attractive small traditional house, part of a good group on a corner site. A postcard of circa 1900 shows the house before the addition of the front lean-to, and before the left hand first floor window was inserted. Currie and Currie, Teignmouth, Devon ; Real Photo Series.
