Description
Tumbledown Cottage (No. 118), along with Nos. 116 and 116A and Becks Croft, is a pair of houses, originally dating back to the 17th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. The houses have a timber-frame structure, now refronted with brick laid in a Flemish bond pattern, and they have gabled roofs covered in old tiles, with brick stacks at the rear. The building is arranged in an L-shape, with a barn attached to the rear via a 20th-century wing.
The exterior is two storeys high with a four-window front. It features a top dentil brick cornice and an asymmetrical gable on the left end. The shop fronts have a wide, bracketed canopy covering a pair of entrances, which have half-glazed doors and flanking two-light windows. There is a two-light shop window to the left and a three-light window to the right, all with fretwork lower panels, some now obscured. Number 118 has an entrance with an architrave and a four-flush-panel door to the left of a late 20th-century canted bay window with small-paned glazing, the roof of which continues as a canopy over the entrance. The first floor has four windows with 8/8 sash windows in wide, moulded frames.
The left return shows 20th-century entrances, windows, and dormers, and a large stack on the front of the ridge. The right return reveals exposed timber framing indicative of a raising of the eaves. A 20th-century wing connects the front range with a long, 17th-century timber-framed barn, with brick infill between the square framing timbers, though some brick renewal is apparent.
The interior has not been inspected.
