Black And White Cottage

Black and White Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with later additions. It features a timber frame with brick infill and a plain tile roof, along with brick integral end stacks. Originally, it was a single-cell house oriented north-east to south-west and facing north-west. A 20th-century extension to the north-east has replaced a timber-framed lean-to.

The 17th-century section, located to the right, has two storeys and an attic, with the upper floors lit from the gable end. It displays three square panels at the eaves and slightly curved braces. The ground floor has a casement window with latticed panes on the left and a central Victorian timber-framed porch with an iron gate.

The 20th-century extension to the left has two storeys and two windows, featuring a ground floor bay window on the left under a canopy, and it extends to the right to shelter a door. This extension incorporates reused timber, likely from the former lean-to. The south-west gable reveals an exposed roof truss with three vertical struts between the collar and tie beam. An old photograph showing the former lean-to is in the possession of the occupier as of September 1985.
