22, 24 and 26, West End

Nos. 22, 24, and 26 West End are three cottages located in Long Whatton. The central bay dates from the late 15th to 16th century but was externally rebuilt in the 19th century and altered in the early 20th century. The left bay is a cross wing that retains some 16th-century fragments but was mostly rebuilt in the early to mid-18th century. The right bay is a 17th-century extension that has been extensively refurbished in the 20th century. The left brick wing features a thatched roof, as does the central bay, which has early 20th-century half-timbered cladding. The right bay is timber-framed with whitewashed brick and render infill, a whitewashed rubble stone base, and a 20th-century blue tile roof. The building is arranged in an L-plan with a projecting gabled wing to the left and consists of two storeys with three bays in total. The left bay displays a chequer pattern of vitreous header brick and a string course with corbelled dentils. It has 19th-century three-light horizontal sash windows and a 19th to 20th-century board and stud door to the right. The central bay features similar sash windows, with the upper window set beneath a thatch eyebrow and a door in a 20th-century half-timbered porch to the left. The right bay has 20th-century two and three-light wooden casements without glazing bars, a 20th-century door to the left, and an altered truss in the right gable. Inside, the central bay has flanking cruck trusses and a much later inserted floor. The smoke-blackened ridge continues across the left bay, which also has some smoke-blackened rafters and possibly reused 16th-century floor joists in the front bay.
