Cawsand View, two cottages in former house. 16th century with later 16th and 17th century improvements. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble stacks topped with 20th century brick; asbestos slate to front, corrugated iron to rear, formerly thatch.
Two cottages facing north-east set back a little from the road. They occupy a 3-room and through passage plan house. Irregular 4 window front of 19th and 20th century casements with glazing bars. Each cottage had a late 19th century doorway inserted into the front. Both contain 20th century doors, the right one behind a 20th century porch. Roof runs parallel with the street between the adjoining properties. Only the passage and left cottage available for inspection. The lower (service end side) screen is probably the earliest and may have been an original low partition. Both sides of the passage are lined with this oak plank and muntin screen. Probably mid 17th century tight winder stair. The roof over the hall is carried on some form of cruck; its shape shows but it is papered over. Other trusses are boxed into the partitions. The roofspace is inaccessible but smoke-blackened roof timbers are suspected. See List for full details.
