Description
Raintub Cottage is a house, likely dating back to the 17th century or earlier, although it was extensively rebuilt in the late 20th century by James Brotherhood, who replicated its 19th-century appearance on the exterior. The walls are constructed from washed English garden wall bond brick, and the roof is thatched with a single ridge and one gable brick chimney. The house follows a lobby-entry plan. It is one storey and attic high, with a four-bay west front. The windows are late 20th-century, featuring three-light wooden mullioned frames and applied diamond leaded glazing. A similar window is found in a gabled dormer over the second bay. A late 20th-century gabled porch has been added, along with a continuous outshut to the rear, covered with a stone slate roof. Inside, a full cruck-framed roof truss is present, featuring a tiebeam, collar, and framed infill, with original wind braced purlins. The former main room is now open to the roof and includes a gallery overlooking it.
