Description
Brock Cottage is a cottage, originally divided into two dwellings, dating to the mid-17th century. It is timber-framed with brick infill and has a plain tile roof. The timber framing consists of small square panels, three from the sole plate to the wall plate, with three framed bays. The cottage is one storey high with an attic space. There are four gabled eaves dormers, each with a two-light wooden casement, and a brick stack positioned behind the ridge, slightly off-centre to the right. The front of the cottage has three windows, which are nineteenth-century three-light wooden casements. A late 20th-century nail-studded boarded door is located on the left side, accompanied by a nineteenth-century bracketed gabled porch. Inside the left-hand gable end, a collar and tie-beam truss is present, featuring queen struts and V-struts. The rear of the cottage has four gabled dormers and a catslide roof over a partly restored nineteenth-century rubble stone outshut. The interior of the right-hand ground-floor room features chamfered beams and joists with ogee stops.
