Sycamore Cottage

Sycamore Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with its front wall rebuilt around 1900 and restored in 1986. It features a timber frame with brick infill panels that largely replace the original wattle and daub, and has a plain tile roof with a brick ridge stack. The house has a two-cell lobby entry plan and is aligned northeast to southwest, facing northwest. It is one storey with an attic and has two gabled bays with 20th-century casement windows. The framing at the front is of slight scantling with large panels and straight braces. The side and rear walls display three tiers of square panels and straight braces. Inside, there are exposed roof trusses, each with two collars, queen struts above the lower collar, and V-struts above the upper collar. The interior also features a 17th-century straight staircase with splat balusters, a large open fireplace, chamfered and stopped ceiling beams, several 17th-century oak doors, and exposed wattles in two of the infill panels.
