Description
Tudor Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th century, with alterations from the 17th century and a remodel in the late 18th century. The building features a painted timber frame with painted brick infill panels set on a stone rubble plinth, and stone rubble walls on the sides and rear. It has plain-tile roofs, with an integral brick gable-end stack on the left and an integral brick eaves stack on the right, forming an L-shaped plan with a two-bay hall and a cross wing.
The exterior is two storeys high. The street front shows the gable of the cross wing to the right, which has first-floor and attic jetties. It features carved and enriched corner brackets that are part of the corner posts, straight tension braces, and close studding at ground level. There is a jettied carved bressumer and herringbone pattern framing at the first floor, along with a cambered jettied tie beam and decorative gable collars and struts that create star patterns. The hall and the return frame of the cross wing to the left are close studded throughout, with a single straight tension brace. The upper tier of panelling in the hall is created by a raised eaves, and there are 20th-century lattice casement windows.
The north gable-end truss features a cambered tie beam over square framing that is three panels high, with four vertical struts, a collar, and twin raking struts above the tie beam, and the eaves are raised over the principals. The south side wall is made of stone rubble and has a single casement window at the first floor. The rear includes a framed gable truss to the left, consisting of a tie beam, three vertical struts, a collar, and twin raking struts above. The square panelled first-floor framing to the right has two casements, while the remainder of the original frame is underbuilt in replacement stone rubble, with a date of 1779 set into the stone wall. The interior has not been inspected.
