Hawthorn Cottage

Hawthorn Cottage is a cottage dating from around 1700, with later additions and alterations. It is timber framed with red brick infill and has a slate roof. The building has a two-cell plan with a central baffle-entry and a lower mid-19th century brick addition to the left. It is one storey high with an attic. The framing features square panels, three from the cill to the wall-plate, with long straight tension braces and V-struts from the collars. There are 20th century casements in the panels of framing to the left and right of the central entrance, with late 19th century gabled eaves dormers directly above. A red brick ridge stack is located immediately to the left of centre. Inside, there is a chamfered spine beam and plain joists in the right ground-floor room, which includes a 19th century cast-iron cooking range at the central stack. The roof consists of collar and tie beams in two bays, with V-struts from the collars to the gable ends. At the time of resurvey in February 1986, the cottage was undergoing extensive restoration.
