Description
This cottage, located approximately 20 meters southwest of Brook House, dates back to the early 17th century but was refronted in the mid-19th century. It features a rendered timber frame, with the left-hand end wall made of coursed sandstone rubble and the front wall rebuilt in red brick on a rubble plinth. The roof is covered with plain tiles. The structure consists of two framed bays and is designed in a Tudor Gothic style due to the mid-19th century refronting. It has one storey and an attic.
The cottage includes a dentil bull-nosed brick eaves cornice and two gabled semi-dormers with dentil bull-nosed brick verges. There is a truncated brick end stack on the left side. The front has two windows, which are mid-19th century wooden-framed lozenge-pattern metal casements with bull-nosed brick cills and returned engineering-brick hoodmoulds, although the casements have been removed from the right-hand windows. The central entrance features a four-panelled door, with the top two panels glazed, and is topped by a returned engineering-brick hoodmould. To the left, there is a mid-19th century brick lean-to with a corrugated iron roof.
Inside, the cottage retains a substantial timber frame, including a central truss with a large cambered tie-beam, collar, and queen-struts, with the eaves raised by approximately one foot in the mid-19th century. There is a timber-framed cross wall, and the left-hand ground-floor room has a chamfered spine beam, wide joists, and an open fireplace featuring a chamfered 17th-century lintel and a mid-19th century overmantel.
