Department of Environment, 2007, Buckland Monachorum (List of Blds of Arch or Historic Interest). SDV339352.

Nos 18 and 19 on the north side of the village square in Buckland Monachorum. Pair of cottages, probably 1 house originally. 16th century much altered and extended in 19th and 20th centuries. Colour washed stone rubble walls. Gable ended asbestos slate roof, higher over No 18. Brick stack at left gable end and rendered lateral stack at rear. Originally appears to have had 2 room plan although the extension at the right-hand end may replace earlier structure. Each principal room had a lateral stack, the right-hand one at the rear, the left-hand one at the front. Unusually, each room had a newel stair, both at the rear, each apparently original contained in a slight projection. It is likely that originally a passage divided the 2 rooms. 19th century 1 room addition at right-hand end. At this stage or possibly in earlier 20th century the building was divided into 2 properties at the division. In the 19th century the front wall of No 18 was built out and the fireplace removed. A 20th century extension at added rear of No18 to left. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical facade in 3 sections:- No 18 to the left projects forward. No 19 has original part at centre and extension to right. 2 window front to No 18 of mid 19th century sashes, door is at left gable end. No18 has late 20th century aluminium framed casements to both parts. At the left-hand side is probably original segmental headed granite doorway with heavy roll-mouldings; 20th century Tudor style door and similar door to extension. Interior: No 19 shows no early features apart from the stone newel stairs adjoining the fireplace (which has been virtualy reconstructed). No 18 has very heavy cross beams on the ground floor, chamfered with hollow step stops. It can be seen where the front wall was built out from the fact that one beam rests on a corbel. A complete set of similiarly decorated joists survives. Wooden newel stairs have possibly had the treads renewed but curved wall suggests it is the original site. In gable end wall on 1st floor blocked single light window is visible with segmental chamfered granite window. 2 original trusses survive; very substantial with threaded purlins, morticed apex with diagonal ridge and morticed cranked collars, all are clean. These are over the original left-hand room of the house, roof trusses to No 19 not inspected but according to owner are sawn timbers. Other details: LBS No 92683.
