Description
Heath Cottage is a house that was previously two cottages, dating from the late 16th century with later alterations. It features a cruck frame, rendered brickwork, and a brown machine-tiled roof with an off-centre ridge stack on the left. The building has a lobby entrance plan, which may have originally been a cross passage type. It is two storeys high with three bays and three windows on the front, and the entrance is located under the stack. The windows and door are modern casements from the 20th century. The gable end displays an exposed truncated cruck, and the eaves have been raised beyond the cruck purlins. Inside, there is another exposed cruck truss with wall framing at the first floor level in the adjacent bay to the gable end. A re-used brattished firehood beam is positioned over a deep fire recess, and there are 19th-century details throughout in the bay to the left of the entrance.
