SAMPFORD COURTENAY STICKLEPATH SS 69 SW 12/212 The Dairy and adjoining 22.2.67 cottage to its east GV II Pair of cottages in row, originally one house. Early C16 with C17 additions, altered probably in early C20. Rendered probably stone rubble walls. Thatch roof. Axial stack with brick shaft. Plan: originally one 3-room-and-through-passage plan house of which the hall and inner room with rear wing comprise the dairy and the passage and lower end form the adjoining cottage to the right. Originally had a small open hall - possibly with central hearth although this cannot be confirmed without access to the roof space. Over the inner room a chamber was jettied into the hall but again it is unclear if this is an original feature or inserted. Hall stack backs onto passage. Rear wing behind hall/inner room is probably early C17. The division into 2 cottages probably took place in late C19 or early C20. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front, windows disposed towards left-and right-hand ends.
