Description
Bull Ring Cottage and Hall Cottage is a house that has been extended and divided into two dwellings. It dates back to the early 17th century, with extensions and partial rebuilding occurring in the late 19th century. The building features a timber frame with painted brick infill, along with red brick additions and partial rebuilding, all topped with machine tile roofs. The structure is arranged in an L-plan, with a cross-wing that projects to the rear on the right side. The hall range is one storey and has an attic, while the cross-wing is two storeys tall.
The timber framing consists of square panels, with four panels extending from the cill to the wall-plate, and short straight tension braces in the cross-wing. The front gable of the cross-wing showcases late 19th-century herringbone decoration above the tie beam and has projecting single-purlin ends. Although the wall beneath has been rebuilt in late 19th-century brick, it retains the original jowled wall posts. Collar and tie beam trusses are visible at the gable end of the hall range and the rear gable of the cross-wing.
The hall range features a 20th-century casement window to the left, with a contemporary window in a late 19th-century timber-framed gabled eaves dormer directly above it. The front gable of the cross-wing has one casement on each floor, with the ground floor window displaying a late 19th-century segmental head. The side wall of the cross-wing includes 20th-century casements on the ground floor, accompanied by a boarded door to the left and a half-glazed door to the right, with late 19th-century timber-framed gabled eaves dormers positioned directly above the casements.
A prominent red brick ridge stack, consisting of two sections, is located to the right of the center of the hall range, while an external red brick stack is found at the rear gable of the cross-wing. The entrance to Hall Cottage is accessed through a late 19th-century addition to the left of the hall range, which is not of special architectural interest.
