Description
Oak Cottage is an early 18th-century cottage featuring a brick nogged timber frame and an asbestos-cement slate roof. The building has two storeys and two window bays, with a 19th-century brick lean-to at the west gable. It has a sandstone plinth and light section (140mm wide) timbers in small framing on all faces. The front corners are supported by long passing braces. The entrance has a replaced oak door on replaced horizontal hinges, sheltered by a 20th-century hood on gallows brackets. The windows are 19th and 20th-century flush casements, one of which has leaded glazing. The front infill panels are plastered, and there are gable barge boards and a central stack. Inside, the cottage features slightly bevelled beams and exposed ceiling joists.
