Smithy Cottage

Smithy Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It features a cruck frame and is clad in handmade brick on a rendered plinth, topped with a corrugated sheet roof and boarded eaves, along with gable chimneys. The cottage has three bays and is one and a half storeys tall.

The modern brick gabled porch is offset to the left, with a two-light casement window to the left of the porch, an altered casement window to the right, and a small two-light casement window in the eaves above. There is a vertical joint marking the third bay, which contains a segmental-headed two-light casement window. At the left end, there is a lean-to greenhouse addition (not included in the listing) and two square inserted windows in the gable above.

At the rear, there is a door and a two-light sliding sash window with four panes per leaf, along with the exposed end of a tie-beam to the right of the window. Inside, the lower part of one cruck blade is visible in the partition wall between the first and second bays, with the remainder of this truss and another likely incorporated into the partition walls.
