The Cottage

II

Squatter's cottage. C18 or later. Timber-framed with painted brick infilling; corrugated iron roof, possibly covering thatch, with brick stack at left end of ridge. Single storey with attic only at right end. One eyebrow dormer to right; two windows on ground floor, both casements. Framing in long horizontal panels, with infilling not painted to rear. Interior: rafter roof of thin scantling with queen struts to principal rafters; staggered purlins. Fire-hood in place at eastern end of cottage, timber-framed and plastered. The existence of the fire-hood is very rare at this date, made more rare by the non-survival of other examples; its existence is the reason for the listing of this cottage.
