Description

EAST BUDLEIGH BUDLEIGH HILL, East Budleigh
SY 0684
8/58 Woodbine Cottage and
- Priddle Cottage
II
2 cottages. Mid to late C17, a C19 extension. Plastered cob on stone rubble
footings; stone rubble footings topped with late C19 brick and Rolle Estate chimney
pots; gable-ended thatch roof.
Pair of contemporary adjoining mirror-plan cottages facing south. Each cottage
comprises a main room served by an end stack and with small unheated rooms (maybe
diaries originally) between, the one belonging to the right (eastern) cottage behind
the one belonging to the left (western) cottage. Now both unheated rooms belong to
the right cottage which is Woodbine Cottage. Direct entry into each cottage is
towards the outer end of each heated room. The left room is Priddle Cottage which
also now includes a C19 former store on the left end. Priddle Cottage still has the
orginal winder stair alongside the fireplace whilst Woodbine Cottage has a secondary
stair up the back wall. 2 storeys.
Once symmetrical 4-window front of C19 and C20 replacement casements with glazing
bars. A fifth first floor window at the right end would make the original front
symmetrical. The doors are at either end. The right one to Woodbine Cottage is a
C20 part-glazed door with a contemporary semi-conical hood. The left one to Priddle
Cottage is a C20 plank door with a gabled and felt-roofed porch. The roof is gable-
ended. So too is the roof of the extension which has a plank door to a woodshed and
a casement with glazing bars above.
Interior. Both main rooms have crossbeams. That in Priddle Cottage is certainly
original with deep soffit chamfers but the shallow soffit-chamfered crossbeam with
runout stops in Woodbine Cottage may be a replacement. Both fireplaces are blocked
by later grates. Roof structure is only exposed in Woodbine Cottage and comprises
side-pegged jointed crucks with pegged lap-jointed collars. Joinery, detail is C19
and C20.
Woodbine Cottage and Priddle Cottage are a pair of small C17 cottages with
interesting plan forms.
