Description
Church Cottage Museum is an 18th-century cottage that opened as a museum in 1995. It is primarily constructed of hand-made brick and features a steeply-pitched corrugated iron roof with boarded eaves. The building has two bays, with the northern section having one and a half storeys and the southern section having two storeys. At the junction of the two bays, there is a modern glazed porch. The north bay includes a three-light casement window on the ground floor and a two-light dormer window in the eaves, while the south bay has a three-light sliding sash window with glazing bars on each floor. The right gable features an external chimney stack, and the left gable has been rebuilt in grey brick. At the rear, there is a low lean-to extension.
Inside, the lower part of the north bay is divided by an axial partition, with both sections featuring chamfered beams—cyma-stopped in the southern part and run-out in the northern part. The interior retains original rafters, joists, and other structural elements, along with a quarter-turned staircase located in the rear inner corner of the north bay.
