Description

Smithy Cottage is an early 17th-century cottage that has been recased in brown brick, likely in the mid-19th century. It features English garden wall bond brickwork and a clay tile roof. The building is one storey plus an attic and consists of three rooms, with a flush front gable over the middle room. The lower storey has three small four-pane casements, while the front gable includes a three-light wood-mullioned casement. There is an outshut against the left end and a ridge chimney situated between the central and right rooms. A former doorway, located just to the right of the chimney, has been bricked up, and the entrance is now through the left outshut. The rear fenestration has been altered.

Inside, the layout has been modified to include an altered lobby-entrance plan. There is a complete oak frame between the central and left rooms, with the faces of the posts and rails in the left room left unwrought, and some timbers have been reused. The cottage features stop-chamfered oak beams, and the staircase has been replaced.
