Description
Well Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with 20th-century extensions. It features a painted timber frame with painted rendered infill panels and has a plain-tile roof. The building has a large detached stepped stone chimney on the left side and a projecting stone chimney at the rear. The plan is L-shaped, with the gable end facing the road and single-storey stone rubble additions to the left and rear.
The exterior includes a single storey and an attic. The front gable has a chamfered jettied straight tie beam and a first-floor bressumer, with close studding below the tie beam. There are twin collars and vertical struts over the tie beam that incorporate decorative curved braces forming a star pattern. At ground level, there is a single 20th-century wooden three-light mullion and transom window, and at the attic level, a three-light casement window, both featuring leaded lights. The square framing is four panels high on the returns, with wooden casements on the right side and the left side partly obscured by a large stone stack and single-storey extensions.
Inside, the main wing has exposed ceiling beams and framing throughout, along with a twin trenched-purlin roof.
