Palace Cottage on the south side of Blagdon in Crediton. House built in the 1830s with probably 18th century or earlier parts to the rear. Stuccoed and blocked out with a gabled slate roof and end stacks with rendered shafts and old pots. Rear block mostly roughcast, probably cob, with remnants of old slate-hanging on the rear elevation.
Plan: L-plan with a rear left wing. The earlier build is a rear range parallel to the main block and projecting beyond it to the north. The gap between the rear and main ranges has been infilled with a single storey lean-to.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-bay front with deep eaves with moulded eaves brackets and painted rusticated quoins. Central Tuscan timber porch; front door with panelled reveals and an overlight. 2 ground and 3 first floor 19th century round-headed 12-pane sashes with glazing bars. The right return has a matching ground floor window. Rear left wing has roof hipped at end. The north end of the earlier range has a hipped roof and a carriage doorway below a loft door. The rear elevation of this range is partly slate-hung.
Interior: Not inspected at time of survey but likely to contain 19th century features in the main range.
Rear range could be of considerable interest: the site is reputed locally to be connected with the former collegiate buildings of the parish church.
