Full description
Historic England, 02/04/2015, Oak Tree Cottage – Removal from the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest (Correspondence). SDV358091.
The building is no longer extant, and should be removed from the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest.
It was a late C18 to early C19 house, constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble footing, and covered by thatch. It was first Grade II listed on 24th October 1988. The cottage was severely damaged by fire on 17th January 2009. The fire itself and the method of fire fighting caused such significant damage that the demolition of the cottage was unfortunately necessary. Its demolition was approved and a replacement dwelling constructed. A full photographic record of the building, both inside and out, was carried out prior to demolition.
See advice report for full details.
