2 Brook Cottages, Netherton, Devon (OASIS ID: acarchae2-278217)

An historic building record of No. 2 Brook Cottage was prepared to support planning and Listed Building Consent applications for repair following a fire in August 2016. No. 2 Brook Cottage and the attached No. 1 represent a subdivided house of mid-late 16th-century date. The building was constructed with two storeys, and a probable two-room plan but without a cross passage. By the early 19th century the building had been divided into two cottages forming part of two small tenements. In No. 2 a probable stair turret had been replaced by an internal staircase. During the 20th century the building was converted back into a single property, and later subdivided into two cottages. At this time the staircase was replaced, and the first-floor bathroom added.
