Cwm Cottage

Cwm Cottage is an early 17th-century farmhouse, now a house, located in Clunbury, Shropshire. It has undergone later additions and alterations. The house is timber-framed with rendered infill on a rubble stone plinth, with slate hanging to the right gable end, and a machine tile roof that is hipped to the left. It follows a baffle-entry plan, arranged in four framed bays.

The house is one storey with an attic. The timber framing features square panels, three from the cill to the wall-plate, with short straight tension braces to both the front and rear. A boarded door is approached by external stone steps to the left of the centre, with a 20th-century latticed casement to its left and two 19th-century casements with leaded latticed lights to its right. Three 20th-century gabled eaves dormers also have latticed casements. A red brick stack is situated immediately behind the ridge, in line with the entrance.

Inside, the main ground-floor room (to the right of the stack) has two chamfered spine beams with stepped ogee stops. The house retains 17th-century plank doors throughout, and wide boarded oak floorboards on the first floor. The roof is a double-purlin, collar and tie-beam structure. A late 20th-century lean-to extension at the left end is not of special architectural interest.
