4-10, COKER HILL

A canvas and sailcloth factory, later converted to cottages, with a manager's house, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century. The building was altered around the late 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of local stone rubble with Ham stone dressings, and the southwest elevation is rendered. The roof is slate, with stone-coped gable ends. Brick gable-end and axial stacks are present. The building has an H-shaped layout. The manager's house occupies the front, facing southwest, and the former canvas and sailcloth factory forms the wing to the northeast, with a short cross-wing added, possibly in the mid-to-late 19th century. The canvas and sailcloth factory was converted to cottages in the late 19th century. Number 10, Bridge Cottage, is two storeys and an attic, with a two-window southwest front. It has four-light hollow-chamfered stone mullion windows with casements featuring leaded panes, a moulded stone string course, and a central doorway with a 20th-century glazed door. There are three flat-roofed dormers. A three-light stone mullion window is in the outshut to the right. Number 9 is the wing behind, with hollow-chamfered stone mullion windows and a flush-panel door. The wing continues as a long range, with the cross-wing at the northeast end, which incorporates the former sailcloth factory that has been converted into cottages numbered 4-8. Small, chamfered, stone mullion, two-light windows with casements featuring horizontal glazing bars are also present, along with various 20th-century porches. Inside Number 4, there are large, unchamfered ceiling beams and a ceiled attic.
