Description
No. 47 High Street is a cottage dating from the 18th century, with 19th-century casements and a laundry. The original part of the cottage is timber-framed and covered with render, topped by an old clay pantile roof that features several courses of brick at the eaves and an end brick stack. The laundry, which is made of colourwashed brick, has its own tiled roof and is added to the left-hand gable. The cottage has a two-room plan over two floors, with a large brick stack integrated into the left side of the original structure. The front elevation includes three casement windows, with tripartite windows on the ground floor. Inside, the cottage reveals an exposed frame, featuring chamfered axial beams, wall plates, tie beams (the central one is cut to form a doorway), and diagonal windbraces.
