Birds Cottage

Birds Cottage is a row of three cottages, now functioning as two, dating from the 17th century and restored in the mid-20th century. The structure is timber-framed with rendered infill, a sandstone rubble plinth, and brick replacement walling and additions. It features a plain tiled roof with a large external brick stack with offsets at the front right and a brick ridge stack at the left side. The building has four framed bays and is a single storey with an attic that includes dormers. The framing consists of three square panels from the sill to the wall-plate, with short straight braces in the upper corners, and no trusses are exposed externally. The end gables have been replaced with brick.

On the front elevation, all doors and windows are from the mid-20th century; the ground floor has five rectangular casements, and there are four gabled dormers with 2-light casements and two half-glazed doors. Inside, the roof has a single row of trenched purlins and intermediate collar-and-tie-beam trusses with queen struts. At the rear left side of the cottage, there is a single storey and attic wing. A plaque on the left gable end wall indicates that the cottages were restored by the Hereford and Worcester Building Preservation Trust in 1977.
