Description

Whittakers Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, with some later details incorporated. It is constructed of coursed rubble and features large quoins, topped with a stone slate roof. The front of the cottage has modern casement windows and a single chamfered doorway with a heavy lintel and jambs. At the rear, there is an ovolo moulded doorway with a Tudor arched head, which may have been relocated from an adjoining barn. Inside, the cottage reveals a 16th-century cruck truss, noted as the only known cruck truss in a domestic building in the area.
