Henry VI Cottage

This is a house, likely dating back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the 17th century and some restoration work in the 20th century. It’s a substantial cruck-framed building, which means its roof structure relies on curved timbers, and stands on a plinth constructed of coursed ironstone and brick. The walls are filled in with brick in a mottled pattern of various dates, and some panels display diaperwork decorative brick patterns. The roof is thatched, with a hipped section on the south end and a gabled section on the north end.

Originally thought to be a 4-bay structure with a central, open hall that was later ceiled over in the 17th century, with a chimney stack being inserted at that time. Attics were converted to living space in the 20th century. The ground floor now has two 2-light casement windows and one 3-light casement window, all with 20th-century dormers matching the casement style. A 20th-century part-glazed door is set under a hipped thatched porch. A red brick ridge stack is present.
