The Cottage Attached to the East of Inchfield House

The Cottage attached to the east of Inchfield House is a mid-16th century cruck-framed house constructed from coursed rubble, currently used as a garage and store room. It has one and a half storeys. To the left, there is a two-storey cell added in the early 18th century, built from thin coursed stone with ashlar quoins. Attached to this is a mid-19th century seven-bay two-storey house made of watershot masonry, which is noted to have no significant architectural interest. All buildings feature stone slate roofs.

The one and a half storey house consists of four bays, with older walling on the ground floor and 19th-century stonework replacing the timber framing on the first floor. A single post remains above the inserted garage door in the fourth bay. The first two bays have openings for sash windows, while the third bay features a door entry with a timber lintel and jambs, topped by a deeper beam set into the wall, which has a projecting slate hood. Above the door, there is a small window located just below the eaves. This doorway is adjacent to a chimney with a well-dressed stack that likely dates from the mid-17th century. The apex of the gable has a crocketed finial with an unusual design.

On the right-hand return wall, there is a sash window in the gable with a plain stone surround. The rear of the building displays quoins and three timber posts pegged to the wall plate, similar to the front, with rubble stone on the ground floor and thin coursed stone on the first floor. A two-light double chamfered mullioned window with a slate hood is present on the right end, along with another two-light chamfered window. Under the eaves, there is a long horizontal sliding sash window and another sash window in the second bay. Large stylobats are visible in the wall for the two central trusses.

The attached cottage rises half a storey higher and features a double chamfered mullioned window with three lights, although one mullion has been removed and it has modern glazing. There is a 19th-century doorway with a stubby open porch made from punch-dressed stone. The interior retains four pairs of crucks forming three bays, which stand on stylobats and have collars and stop-chamfered tie beams, some of which have been cut through. This building is considered a very rare and important survival in the region.
