Nightingale Cottages

Nightingale Cottages is a house, now divided into two dwellings, likely built in the early 17th century with later 17th-century extensions, including a porch dated T.H. 1663. The building is timber-framed with brick infill panels and features a plain-tile roof. It has a brick integral end stack to the hall range and a sandstone lateral external stack to the cross-wing, which has two lozenge-shaped brick shafts. The hall range is aligned east-west and faces north, with a cross-wing to the east, its end walls flush with the side walls of the hall range. The hall range was extended to the west in the later 17th century.

The main range is two stories high, with a gabled cross-wing to the left, which also has two stories and an attic. The front has five windows, mainly late 19th-century to early 20th-century casements that are irregularly spaced. The early 17th-century section of the house on the left has four tiers of square panels up to the eaves level, while the cross-wing features a double collar roof truss with V-struts above the upper collar and vertical struts below both, along with a cambered tie beam. The later 17th-century extension to the right also has four tiers of panels, but these are larger and wider. There are two types of braces; the ones in the cross-wing are curved, while the others occupy the corners of the panels like brackets. A gabled porch is located to the left of center and includes V-struts in the gable. The right-hand gable has an exposed queen strut roof truss with one pair of purlins and a ridge piece.
