Middle Blagdon Cottage and attached barn to west (Formerly Listed as: BLAGDON ROAD, Blagdon Nos.1 AND 2 Middle Blagdon Cottages (terrace)).
House, probably for agricultural labourer, including outbuilding adjoining at W end. Early C19.
MATERIALS: Local slatestone rubble with some brick dressings; natural slate roof laid in diminishing courses; stacks with rendered shafts. Outbuilding with corrugated-asbestos roof.
PLAN: L-plan house, the main block south-facing, 2-rooms-wide with a cross passage entrance, the rooms heated from end stacks; rear left wing at right-angles. The house was divided into 2 cottages at one time with a 2nd front door added. Outbuilding adjoining at W end may have been a stable.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Roof gabled at left end, hipped at right end and at end of wing: deep eaves. Right end stack projects. Asymmetrical 3-window front with plank front door to the passage with a porch hood on brackets. Secondary door alongside to the left. 2 ground and 3 first-floor casement windows with segmental-arched brick voussoirs: similar voussoirs to all other windows. Casements are an unusual survival: cast-iron with small panes: 3-light to the ground floor, 2-light to the first. The elevation overlooking the road has a blocked door to the right of the main block and one ground and 2 first-floor windows - all cast-iron casements except the ground floor window which has been reglazed with C20 leaded panes. End of wing blind. The right return of the wing also has 2 cast-iron small-pane casements: one window on end of main block reglazed with a casement with C20 leaded panes. The outbuilding, a former barn, has a small doorway on the south side, window alongside and a loft loading door above. INTERIOR: Main block fireplaces have red sandstone jambs and lintels. Pretty pink and grey local limestone flags to part of the ground floor.
Date first listed: 10th January 1975. Date of most recent amendment: 24th October 1993
