Thorverton : Acorn Cottage
Image: © Lewis Clarke Taken: 16 Sep 2013
GV II House and adjoining cottage, formerly 1 build. Probably C18, C20 renovations. Unusual materials of construction : a photograph of the front elevation of Acorn Cottage with the render stripped off shows local stone rubble up to approximately first floor level, this acts as a plinth for a frame of timber studs infilled with cob bricks; the rest of the range may be constructed in the same way; Acorn Cottage has an internal framed partition wall, with cob brick infill and part, at least, of the axial stack of Acorn House is also of cob bricks.
