Description

South View Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the 17th century and later. It is constructed of local lias stone coursed rubble and is colourwashed, topped with a thatched roof featuring a coped gable on the west side and a plain gable on the east. There is a rendered chimney stack with a brick baffle at the west end. The cottage is two storeys high and has two bays. On the ground floor, there are three and two-light hollow chamfered mullioned windows with square labels, framing simple casements. Above, there are two 20th-century steel casements under older timber lintels. Between the bays, there is an early boarded door in a heavy frame, leading to an open stone and tiled porch with a hipped roof. A lean-to is attached to the west gable, featuring a flush panelled door, and there is a 20th-century pantiled extension on the southeast corner. The interior has not been seen, but it is reported to contain stud and plank partitions, an altered fireplace with a curing chamber, a spiral staircase in stone, and a cambered arched timber doorway.
