Site visit 1983. Thatch roof, quite good condition. Cob or cob and stone. Also known as Locks Cottage. Part of the Drewe estate.

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

Creamwashed, two storey cob cottage at the east end of the village, beyond the church. Thatch roof, late 17th- and early 18th century single depth plan, with central slate porch and rear garage/shed of double roman tile, formerly the milk 'depot'. Narrow service rooms each side of a large, heated central room.
In reasonable condition. There is limited deathwatch beetle activity in the roof structure. Some upstairs rooms are dry-lined; all are in excellent order. The south end of the ground floor is also dry-lined to counter persistent damp apparently caused by the raised ground level of the road and rear yard which regularly flooded until an apron was added at the road edge. There is reportedly regular water penetration down the chimney. This could be cause by a defect in the back gutter to the chimney. The thatch is in reasonable order, though the ridge will need to be remade shortly. Windows in need of redecoration. Garage in need of some attention; several double romans are cracked, rafters are sagging and the east wall needs repointing.
Boundary walls need limited repointing, except for the retaining wall near the outfall of the culvert under the south end of the cottage, which is in need of partial rebuilding.
