Description
Bucknell Cottage is a farmhouse that has been extended to form three cottages, now functioning as a single house. It likely dates from the early 17th century, with extensions from the 18th and 19th centuries, and was remodeled in the early 19th century in the cottage ornée style. Further extensions occurred around 1910, and significant alterations were made in the late 20th century.
The building features a roughcast timber frame, brick, rubblestone, and roughly coursed limestone rubble, with machine tile roofs that replaced thatch in the late 20th century. The earliest section is to the left, consisting of three framed bays, with the left bay rebuilt in stone. To the right, there is a gabled range from around 1910 that projects at both the front and rear. A lower gabled range from the late 19th century is at right angles to the rear on the left, with a short range running parallel to the main range at the rear left.
Bucknell Cottage is one storey and has an attic. The main range displays five gabled eaves dormers of varying sizes and heights at the front, with the second and third from the left featuring 19th-century leaded lights, while the others have 20th-century casements. The far left has a three-light 19th-century casement on the ground floor, with late 20th-century casements to the left of centre and to the right. A 19th-century quatrefoil-shaped window with leaded lights is located at the far right. There are entrances to the left, left of centre, and to the right, which include a half-glazed door under a lean-to hood, a half-glazed door, and a 20th-century boarded door under a lean-to porch, respectively.
An integral stone end stack to the left has been widened in 19th-century red brick. Weatherboarding is present below the eaves immediately to the left of the left dormer. The rear elevation and projecting wings feature early 19th-century Gothic casements and doors, along with several 20th-century doors and windows in an imitative style.
Inside, only a partial inspection was possible during the last survey in July 1986. The 17th-century part has fragmentary square panels visible on the front wall and a large infilled inglenook fireplace with a bread oven. A 17th-century plank door leads to the extension on the right. The roof has double purlins with trusses that were plastered over at the time of the resurvey.
