Mud And Stud Cottage To East Of New Haven Poultry Farm

Mud and Stud Cottage, located to the east of New Haven Poultry Farm, is a cottage dating from the mid-18th century, which was encased in the early 19th century and has undergone minor alterations in the 20th century. The cottage is timber-framed with mud infill and is encased in painted brick. It features an interlocking pantile roof with coped gables and a single ridge stack. The layout consists of a 2-bay lobby-entry plan, with the right bay being larger and open to the roof, while the smaller left bay includes an attic.

The entrance front has a projecting off-centre gabled porch with a plank door, flanked by single 20th-century casement windows. The left gable wall has one ground floor window and above it, a small 2-light sliding sash window. The right gable wall features a single 2-light window. Inside, the cottage retains its original 2-bay plan, which includes a large stack with a mud and timber hood and a 20th-century fireplace, along with side cupboards that have plank doors. The original half-hipped roof structure is preserved, showcasing purlins, simple collar trusses, and a continuous ridge piece. This building is noted as a rare surviving example of a 2-bay mud and stud cottage.
