Buttercup Cottage

Buttercup Cottage is a small house dating from the 17th century. It was altered and divided into two cottages in the 18th century. The building is constructed of coursed chalk rubble with brick patching and has stacks, topped with a pantiled roof. It is one storey high with attics and consists of two cells. The symmetrical front features two central boarded doors, each with wooden lintels and plain surrounds, flanked by sliding sash windows with glazing bars in plain wood surrounds. There are 20th-century shutters on the windows. The cottage has two dormers with casement windows beneath sloping roofs and end stacks. The plain close verges add to its simple charm. Inside, the cottage retains a blocked fire window and one original chamfered joist, while the rest of the interior features late 18th-century elements with small quarter-round mouldings on the edges.
