Description

Hannett's Cottage is a former pair of cottages now combined into one, dating from the 17th century with a front added in the mid-19th century and some 20th-century alterations. The building features a mix of small timber framing with brick nogging on the sides and rear, while the front is finished in washed pinkish red brick with an English garden-wall bond. It has a Welsh slate roof and three brick chimneys. The cottage is one storey high with a five-bay front. The left side has three bays with two-light wooden casements set beneath rough-brick segmental heads, flanking a five-board door also under a similar head. The right side features a five-board door to the right and a three-light casement with glazing bars beneath a brick label mould to the left, along with a smaller brick extension. Above each cottage, there is a gabled dormer showcasing exposed timber framing. The left side reveals exposed timber framing with a passing brace and a collar and tie-beam truss. Inside, there is a massive central brick fireplace and some chamfered ceiling beams, along with a spiral wooden staircase in the right cottage. Attached to the left end by a brick wall is a domed brick oven, which retains a cast-iron door. Below the oven is a firebox with a sandstone lintel, and the flues curve around the oven to a brick chimney above.
