Thatched creamwashed cob cottage on north side of village street. One room downstairs with first floor divided in 20th century to form a bedroom and a bathroom and modern stair. This is a lean-to kitchen of brick construction with asbestos cement slates. Front windows softwood downstairs, with customary window seat, and modern taller Crittal window to first floor. Rear windows are all 19th century softwood.
The rear has been rethatched, and the front has some life left. There is dampness at low level, particularly in the party wall adjacent to the stairs, and in the west crosswall adjacent to the fireplace. The lean-to is also damp. Some rot visible in the cill of the ground floor front window.

Broadhembury is possibly one of the most perfectly complete villages in Devon in terms of the use of traditional materials which here consist of creamwashed rendered cob on stone footings with characteristic tar band. Roofs are thatched with a plain ridge and many are either hipped or half-hipped. These delightfully organic profiles are further emphasised by the many swept dormers. Most chimneys are exposed brickwork with oversailing upper courses; some have been rendered. Almost all the cottages in the village are listed and many date from the late 16th or 17th century. Other details: Maps.
