Kibbear Cottages

Kibbear Cottages is a semi-detached cottage that dates back to the late medieval period and has been altered in the 16th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The exterior is roughcast over rubble, with a cob wing and a thatched roof, featuring a brick stack at the left gable end. The building is L-shaped, consisting of two cells with a single-storey wing attached to the west, which is not included in this listing. It stands one and a half storeys tall and has a two-light dormer window on the ground floor to the left, along with three-light 19th-century casements and a three-light chamfered mullioned casement next to a semi-circular headed chamfered door frame. The single-storey wing to the left has a three-light unglazed 15th-century trefoil-headed wooden mullioned window in the gable end, which may have been reset, as well as a square-headed door and window opening in the re-entrant angle. Inside, there is a brick party wall shared with the adjoining cottage, a winder stair to the left of the east gable end fireplace, one joined cruck truss, and one collar beam truss with a large purlin cut and a tie beam that is also cut. It is likely that the original house extended west and was rebuilt following a fire.
