Brook Cottage

Brook Cottage is an early 17th-century cottage that features a timber frame with brick nogging and a concrete tile roof, topped with a single gable brick chimney. The building has a two-room plan with the entrance located near the fireplace. It is one storey with an attic and has a two-bay south front. The facade includes eight small frames with two passing braces, a door at the left end with planted hinges, two four-pane windows, and a small two-light window in the attic. The end walls are made of brick and retain the original trusses, while the timber-framing of the rear wall is intact. Inside, the entry leads to a brick baffle, and there is a shallow inglenook featuring a chamfered, cambered bressumer. The interior also showcases exposed joists, quarry tile floors, trusses with a tie beam and two diagonal struts, and wind-braced purlins.
