Description
No 23 Campton Road is a cottage dating from the early to mid 18th century. It has a timber frame with brick infill and is finished with roughcast render. The cottage features a hipped thatched roof, which is currently covered with a corrugated metal roof. It is a single storey building with three windows at the front. Originally, it was a two-bay house, with the right-hand bay functioning as a smoke bay, showing clear signs of smoke blackening on the roof purlins and the interior gable wall in the loft.
The cottage was extended by one timber-framed bay to the right, likely in the late 18th or early 19th century, while the left end is made of brick and dates to the mid to late 19th century. There is a central brick stack from the 19th century, and the original front door, which was aligned with the stack, has been bricked up; access is now through the right-hand bay. The walls have studs with trenched braces, and the wall plate is from the original construction. The roof features clasped purlins over the two central bays.
