7/27 Nos. 1 & 2 Church Cottages

GV II

Pair of cottages. Circa late C17/early C18, extended probably in C19. Rendered
stone rubble and cob walls. Gable ended asbestos slate roof. 2 axial rubble
stacks. The original pair of cottages was to the left and each probably had one
room heated by the one axial stack with a very small unheated service room at the
opposite end from the stack. A further 2-room cottage was added at the right-hand
end, with a stack at its left-hand end, at some stage in the C19 probably in the C20
the 2 left-hand cottages were converted into one.
2 storeys. Asymmetrical 5-window front, 3 windows to No. 1. Early C20 2-light
casements with glazing bars. No. 1 has a C20 plank door at the centre and a leanto
porch at the left-hand end with a similar door. Towards the right-hand end are 2
adjoining C20 part-glazed doors. The rear elevation has irregular very small
openings and is recessed beyond the inner axial stack where the building was
extended.
Interior of No. 1 has 2 back-to-back fireplaces with fairly insubstantial timber
lintels which have a narrow chamfer and run-out stops. The left-hand fireplace has
an oven which retains its iron door.
