Description

La Chaumière is a small house originally built as a single-celled cottage in the 18th century, with later extensions added to the north at a slight angle and further extensions to the east in the 19th and 20th centuries. The two older bays are constructed of whitewashed cob resting on a brick plinth, with whitewashed rubble stone on the northern gable. The house features a thatched roof that is half-hipped to the south, with a brick chimney stack on the northern gable. It has one and a half storeys, and the west side includes four 20th-century barred wooden casement windows on the ground floor, one of which is in a blocked doorway. There is a paired leaded casement window under a thatch eyebrow to the left. The whitewashed brick extensions to the east include a 19th-century bay to the north with a timber-framed upper section and a slate roof, and a 20th-century bay to the south with a flat roof and entry.
