Clysterhayes

Clysterhayes is a cottage, probably from the 18th century, built with plastered cob on a stone rubble foundation. It has a stone rubble stack topped with 20th-century brick and a slate roof, which was formerly thatch. The cottage has a two-room plan and faces south onto the village square. The larger room on the left (west) is heated by an end stack that it shares with the adjoining cottage. The building is two storeys high and features an irregular front with three windows, which are 20th-century casements with glazing bars. The front doorway, located at the right end, has a 20th-century plank door in a traditional style, complete with a contemporary flat hood. The roof connects with the Drewe Arms on the right and is continuous with the roof of the property on the left. The interior was not inspected, but roughly-chamfered crossbeams are visible. Clysterhayes is part of a charming group of listed buildings in the centre of Drewsteignton village.
