Description
Tudor Cottage is a farmhouse, now a house, that dates from the early 17th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the mid-19th century, with some restoration in the late 20th century. The building is timber-framed, partly rendered, with some rubble walling and refacing. It features machine-tiled roofs that project on three tiers of shaped brackets at the gable ends, along with brick stacks located at the center and rear of the main ridge. The structure is L-shaped, with a main range of three bays aligned north to south and a three-bay range at the north end that has two tall brick stacks on its north side. The cottage is partly single-storey and attic with half-dormers, and partly two-storeys, with a cellar and attic featuring dormers.
The upper part of the south end wall-posts is exposed in the main range, while the north wing likely displays five rows of panels from the sill to the wall-plate beneath the render. The east front elevation shows that the main range has 20th-century casements throughout, including two 2-light windows and a single-light window on the ground floor, two gabled half-dormers with 2-light windows, and a 2-light window beneath the eaves in the central bay. The main entrance, located in the central bay, features a 20th-century half-glazed door. The north wing has 19th-century casements, and in the angle with the main part, there are two 3-light windows on both main floors. The north wing also features two gabled dormers with projecting eaves on moulded brackets and 2-light leaded windows, along with a 20th-century door that has a blocked transom light. At the east gable end, there are plank weatherings at the first floor and attic level.
Inside, much of the framing is said to survive in the main range. The north range includes substantial chamfered main ceiling beams, some original moulded door surrounds, and a large semi-circular archway leading down to the cellar.
