Caroe & Partners, 1997, Broadhembury Village. Draft Survey of Condition (Report - Survey). SDV344616.

Tiny thatched cream-washed cob cottage on the north side of the village. Central fron door which now opens into a single room, though this must originally have been divided. Stack at the west (lef) end with the smalles possible stair beside, the whole flight contained within an area of approximately 4 feet by 2 feet. Two connecting bedrooms over, under a 17th- or 18th century A-frame roof. The usual brick built lean-to at the rear, containing kitchen and bathroom.
Thatch in fairly poor condition, with spars now showing. The lean-to is roofed in asbestos cement tiles as part of what appears to have been a general programme of reroofing earlier this century. These were reasonably sound, but must be getting towards the end of their life. There was no access to the main roof void, but truss feet where visible appear sound. The walls are generally good, with little evidence of dampness.
Internally the cottage is in very good order. Windows appear sound. Lath and plaster to upstairs ceilings is bowed, but sound. The ground floor ceiling is probably asbestolux boards, fitted with cover strips.
The render to the blockwork, tin-roofed outside workshop is cracked, and windows bare and rotten.
