Description
This house, located about 60 meters east of Blagaton Farmhouse, dates back to the 17th century and is currently used as a store. It has undergone some minor alterations around the mid-19th century when it was divided into two cottages. The structure is made of rendered cob on stone rubble footings, with gabled ends covered by corrugated iron roofs that were formerly thatched. A massive stone stack on the ridge heats the hall, while a lower end stack at the right gable no longer exists. The layout consists of three rooms and a through or cross passage, with the hall heated by a stack that backs onto the passage. The inner room is very narrow and unheated, while the lower end is heated at the right gable end.
When the house was divided, the entrance was modified to create a baffle entry, making the passage a narrow room at the lower end. The roof trusses were replaced in the late 19th or early 20th century. The house is two storeys tall and features an asymmetrical four-window front. The front door leads into a lobby in front of the stack, which has a sloping slate roof. There is a separate entrance into the lower end to the right, likely added when the house was divided. The front elevation has 19th-century fenestration with two- and three-light casements that include glazing bars.
At the rear, there are two timber 17th-century mullioned windows, one of which lights the inner room and has a king mullion, while the other has a diamond section mullion. A two-light timber mullioned window illuminates the rear wall of the passage.
Inside, the hall fireplace features squared stone rubble jambs and a chamfered lintel with straight cut stops, along with one chamfered axial beam in the hall. A plastered partition wall between the hall and inner room is likely from after the 17th century. The lower end fireplace has a chamfered timber lintel. The stubs of the truncated 17th-century principal rafters are still visible beneath the later trusses.
