Description

Nos. 3 and 4 Dryton is a cottage that was originally built in the late 17th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is timber framed with painted brick nogging and features a thatched roof, along with a later addition made of painted brick with a plain tile roof. The building is arranged in an L-plan and likely consists of three framed bays with a later addition. It has one storey and an attic, with eyebrow eaves dormers; there are two dormers on the west side featuring two- and three-light wooden casements, and one dormer on the east side with a three-light wooden casement. The north side of the 19th-century addition has a gabled eaves dormer with a two-light wooden casement, and there is one brick ridge stack on each range.

On the west front, there are two windows: a 20th-century two-light window on the left and a sealed one-light window on the right. A 20th-century lean-to porch is located at the right angle, featuring a boarded door. The right-hand addition includes a first-floor one-light casement, a ground-floor lean-to square bay in the gable end at the front, and a ground-floor two-light casement on the left-hand return front. Inside, the collar and tie-beam truss with queen struts is exposed in the north gable end of the 17th-century range. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
