NORTH CADBURY CP WOOLSTON ROAD (North side) No. 21

GV II*

Cottage. C15 origins. Local stone roughly cut and squared, large stones to quoins; half-hipped thatched roof; brick chimney stacks. 'T' plan; 2 storeys, 2-bay roadside elevation. Timber casement windows, 2-light to bay 1 and 3-light to bay 2, all under timber lintels; that to lower bay 1 has one half leaded, all others with horizontal bars; between bays plain boarded door with diamond glazed light, under timber lintol. On east gable another leaded casement to ground floor. Return wing to rear of 2 bays, and between bays a blocked chamfered cambered-arched doorway. Interior not seen, but reported are several deep-chamfered crossbeams, full cruck truss and also jointed crucks with windbracing, traces of some cob walling as well as wattle and daub partitions, and slightly later insertions of a stone newel staircase, and both timber and stone cambered-arch doorways as well as early fireplaces: it is thought that the roadside portion is a C17 modification.
