Description
Nettlecombe is an early 19th-century cottage located in Pitcombe, near Hadspen. Constructed of Cary stone ashlar with Doulting stone dressings, it features a Welsh slate roof with gable overhangs and a central stone chimney stack. The cottage has a gable front facing the road, with lean-tos extending to the north and east. It is two storeys high and originally had two bays, with a further angled bay added to one side, incorporating one, two, and one lights respectively. The windows are mullioned and contain diamond cast iron pane casements; the windows in the lean-to have one light below and two lights above, while the first bay has one light below and three lights above. Similar windows are found on the south side, incorporating moulded timber eaves brackets. The interior remains unseen. Until 1850, the cottage served as the parson's house for the Church of Saint Leonard; after that year, a purpose-built vicarage was constructed on Strutter’s Hill, which has since been altered.
