Description
Torre Cottage, also known as Zwan Antiques, is an 18th-century building in West Street, Dunster, with later alterations. The front is colourwashed rough-cast and has a pantile roof with eaves. It is two storeys high plus attics, containing three windows. The windows on the second floor of No. 21 are sash windows with glazing bars. No. 19 above a modern shop front features a later oriel window with casement windows. Two later gabled dormers have been added. A central panelled door is sheltered by an elliptical-arched wooden hood supported by brackets. The building is included on the list for its group value.
