Burcott Cottage Cobblers Cottage Post Office And Stores

Burcott Cottage, Cobblers Cottage, and the Post Office and Stores are three houses dating from the 17th century, with some late 18th century, mid-19th century, and late 20th century alterations. The buildings are timber-framed with painted brick and rendered infill on a coursed rubble plinth, topped with a slate roof. They are arranged in an H-plan, with the main range running north to south, containing The Burcott, while Cobblers Cottage is in the north cross-wing and the Post Office is in the south cross-wing.

A main stack, made of rubble and featuring an oven and a brick shaft, is located at the angle between the north cross-wing and the main range. There is also a small wing extending to the south from the south-west corner of the south cross-wing. The west front has two storeys in the centre (raised in the 18th century) with one-storey cross-wings that have attics lit by 2-light casements in the gable ends. The first floor features two 2-light casements, while the ground floor has a 2-light casement to the left under a plank weathering, a 3-light casement to the centre, and a canted bay window with a slate roof to the right. The right-hand cross-wing has a fixed window.

There are three entrances: the left entrance has a half-glazed porch with a two-leaf door, the centre has a four-panel door under a lean-to tiled canopy, and the right has a ledged and boarded door. The further wing to the right has two storeys, with a 2-light casement above a 3-light casement. The framing consists of three rectangular panels, with the central range featuring straight angle braces. The gable trusses have two struts to the collar and V-struts in the apex.
