Midsummer'S Cottage

Midsummer's Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with a mid-18th century brick facade. It is timber-framed, featuring plaster and brick infill at the rear and a brick facade at the front. The cottage has a thatched roof with brick stacks along the ridge. It is one storey plus an attic and has a range of four windows. The original layout was a lobby-entry plan. There is a 19th-century plank door set within a 20th-century thatched porch, and another 19th-century plank door to the right. The ground storey includes three 19th and 20th-century three-light casement windows, along with two dormers in the attic storey located to the left and centre. The mid-18th century facade features two ground storey windows with gauged brick lintels, while two windows on the later facade to the right have segmental brick lintels. The mid-18th century facade also has a storey band and a stone plinth at the rear. Inside, the cottage is noted for its beams, which are chamfered and have stops, as well as an open fireplace and timber-framed partitions.
