Description
No. 17 is a 17th-century cottage located on East Street in West Coker. It is constructed from local stone rubble with Ham stone dressings and features a double Roman clay tile roof with a coped gable on the west side and an abutment on the east. The building is two stories high and has two bays. It includes hollow chamfered mullioned windows, with a three-light window in the first bay and a two-light window in the second bay. Between these windows is a cambered arched doorway with incised spandrels. There is a continuous string course above the windows, which is raised over the door. Above the doorway, there are small-pane casement windows with three and two lights. The interior has not been seen. The front boundary wall is located 1.5 meters from the house and has a return on the east side. It is made of cut and squared stone with flat slab coping, standing about 1 meter high, and features a central gateway topped with true truncated pyramidal caps.
