Moss Cottage

Moss Cottage is probably a 17th-century cottage, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of red brick and timber frame, with a roughcast front, and has a corrugated iron roof over what was originally thatched, featuring deep boarded eaves. The cottage is one storey and has an attic. A 19th-century casement window is located on the far left and to the right of a segmental-headed plank door positioned centrally. A 19th-century cast-iron latticed eaves dormer sits directly above the right casement, and a narrow raking eaves dormer with leaded lights is to the left of the left casement. An integral axial red brick end stack is situated to the right, at the junction with No.1, Moss Cottage. The stack’s top section was rebuilt in the late 19th century using red brick. A single-storey red brick addition from the early 20th century extends to the left, featuring a blocked doorway to its left and a casement window to its right.

Inside, the right-hand ground floor room retains a plain spine beam and joists, along with an infilled inglenook fireplace featuring a chamfered segmental wooden lintel. The left-hand room, accessed by a plank door, has plain joists and an oak staircase with a right-angled turn. Wide boarded oak floorboards are present on the first floor. In the right room, the stepping of the brick stack is visible. The roof is a single-purlin structure with original thatching spars; the centre truss was plastered over during a resurvey in February 1987.
