Description
Adelaide is a cottage dating from the 18th century, with a 19th-century addition. It features rendered cob and stone rubble walls and a thatched roof that is gabled at the left end and half-hipped at the right. There is a brick lateral stack at the rear. The cottage has a very small two-room layout, with the main room accessed from the front, which includes a fireplace in the inner corner, and a very small service room beyond it. A 19th-century lean-to has been added at this end.
The cottage is two storeys high. The elevation facing the road has only one 19th-century or early 20th-century casement window. The rear elevation features a small light at the left end and an early 20th-century two-light casement on each floor in the right-hand end wall. Projecting from this wall is a 19th-century thatched roof porch, which contains a plank door.
Inside, there is a 19th-century chimneypiece and mantel in the main room, along with a tongue and groove partition that separates it from the small room beyond. This cottage is a rare example of a virtually unaltered small dwelling that was once common in Devon.
