Doone Cottage

Doone Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with likely additions from the late 18th century. It is constructed from rendered cob and stone rubble and features a hipped thatched roof, probably made of wheatstraw, along with slate roofs over the outshut and porch. The building has a two-room plan, with an axial stack; the larger room is on the left and the smaller room is on the right. It is possible that the right-hand room was added in the late 18th century to what was originally a one-room plan cottage. There is also a later 18th-century one-room plan addition with an end stack at the rear of the left-hand end, and an outshut added to the left-hand end. The exterior has an asymmetrical two-window front, featuring 19th-century two- and three-light wooden casements. There is an old boarded door to the left with a pegged wooden frame and a 20th-century gabled wooden porch. Inside, the left-hand ground-floor room has 17th-century plain joists spanning from front to back, and a large open stone fireplace on the right, which has a chamfered wooden lintel with run-out stops. The front window has jambs that continue to the ground.
