Hill Haye Cottage

Hill Haye Cottage is a 17th-century cottage located on Higher Ringmore Road in Shaldon. The building features cob construction on a low red sandstone rubble plinth and has a thatched roof with a stack on the left return and rear right, while a slate roof covers the right extension. The cottage has a two-unit central through-passage plan with a later two-storey extension to the right.

The exterior is single storey with an attic and has a three-window range. A 20th-century thatched porch leads to the door, which is flanked by 20th-century two-light small-pane casement windows, and there are two eyebrow dormers in the attic.

Inside, the left room features an open fire with an ovolo-moulded lintel and a bread oven, along with an ovolo-moulded crossbeam and moulded rafters. The right-hand room also has an open fire at the rear. A winding stair is located to the rear left of the passage, and there is a cupboard under the stair with a door made of two planks and a wrought-iron strap hinge. The first floor has late 17th-century or 18th-century two-panel doors with wrought-iron strap hinges. The roof trusses have collars that are notch-lap-jointed into the principal rafters, and the ridge is in notch with a diagonally-set ridge piece.
