Tubs Cottage Tubs Cottage, 14 Fore Street And 1A Church Street

Tubs Cottage, located at 14 Fore Street and 1a Church Street in Kingsteignton, is a pair of cottages that likely date back to the 18th century. The buildings are constructed from whitewashed and rendered stone or cob and feature a thatched roof.

The layout of Tubs Cottage includes one heated room on the left side, while the right side is divided into a larger room at the front and a smaller room at the rear. The interior of 1a Church Street has not been inspected, but it is possible that the properties share a flying freehold.

The exterior of Tubs Cottage is two storeys high, with a half-hipped roof on the left side and a hipped roof on the right. The main façade is symmetrical, featuring a central 20th-century front door with a thatched porch canopy and four two-light casement windows, each with three panes per light. The rear elevation slightly projects at the left end and includes three lateral stacks with brick shafts. The front of 1a Church Street has a 20th-century door positioned to the right of centre and modern plastic windows, except for a two-light casement window with six panes per light on the ground floor to the left, which may belong to Tubs Cottage.

Inside Tubs Cottage, there is a chamfered cross beam, and the 20th-century fireplace in the left room may hide older features.

Tubs Cottage is designated as Grade II due to its status as a good example of an 18th-century cottage that retains much of its historic fabric, including its lateral stacks and chamfered cross beam. 1a Church Street is included in the designation for its group value.
