Description
Farmer Wright's Cottage is a house that was originally a farmhouse, dating from the late 17th century, with additions and alterations from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with whitewashed brick infill and a thatched roof. The building has a baffle-entry plan consisting of two rooms and is one storey high with an attic.
The entrance front displays seven by three cells of uneven small framing with angle braces. The original door, which was located to the far right, has been filled in, while there is a door to the second cell from the left. The ground floor includes one single-light window and one two-light window. Above, there are two eyebrow dormers, each with two lights. To the left, there is an 18th-century addition, with a 19th-century lean-to at the extreme left, and a 20th-century single-storey addition to the right.
Inside, the cottage features a chamfered bressumer, ceiling beams, and small framing.
