Description
No 6/7 (Fountain Cottage) and No 8 are two attached cottages located in Clovelly, likely built in the 18th century but significantly rebuilt in 1925. The cottages are rendered and whitewashed, probably built on a rubble and cob core, and feature gabled slate roofs with three sections of slightly different pitches, two rendered stacks, and a high brick ridge stack.
The layout consists of a row of three cottages, each with a single room on the ground floor, with the left end terraced into a steep hillside. There are two gable-end stacks and an axial stack for the central cottage. The exterior is two storeys with an attic, which includes a small hipped-roofed dormer on the left featuring a two-light casement with leaded lights and glazed cheeks. The first floor has a window arrangement of 2:1:1, with the left two windows being two-light casements with square-paned leaded lights and three two-light 12-pane wooden casements to the right.
Number 6 has two door openings; the right door features a moulded freestone surround with a stone hood and a pulvinated frieze, along with a stone plaque inscribed: "THIS COTTAGE WAS REBUILT BY CHRISTINE HAMLYN IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 1925," and a plank door with a large glazed panel. The left door opening has a slated hood on brackets and a 20th-century porch made of corrugated plastic. The ground rises to the left, so the door opening to number 8 is set at first floor level, featuring a glazed door and rough stone steps leading up with a stone wall.
Inside number 8, there are two paternal chamfered ceiling beams on the ground floor.
