Description
The Railway Crossing Keeper's Cottage is a single-storey building dating from around 1866, designed in the Italianate style. It is constructed of stuccoed brick with rusticated stucco quoins and features a Welsh slate roof with gabled ends, overhanging verges, and an eaves cornice. The cottage has a T-shaped plan with a two-window front facing the railway track, although the segmental-headed windows are currently boarded over. There is a doorway at the north end that leads to the road, which has chamfered and stopped jambs and a flat arch. At the rear, there is a slightly lower gable-ended wing. A rendered chimneystack is positioned at the center of the main roof ridge. This cottage was built for the South Devon Railway Company, which opened the Newton Abbot to Moretonhampstead line on July 4, 1866. The Teign Valley branch from Heathfield to Ashton was opened in 1882 and extended to Exeter in 1883.
