Description
No. 112 High Street is a cottage dating from the mid-17th century. It is constructed of clunch, with some parts coursed, and features a steeply pitched roof covered in buff pantiles, which was originally thatched. The cottage has a ridge stack made of gault brick with a string course. It consists of one storey and attics, with two dormers that have been partly rebuilt and enlarged, along with the two windows and doorway on the ground floor. The rear wall contains two 20th-century windows set in the original splayed openings.
Inside, the cottage has three rooms or bays. The central bay is heated by an inglenook hearth made of clunch and is separated from the service bay by a partly rebuilt framed partition wall. The parlour features a later hearth, likely from the 18th century. The floor framing from the 17th century is exposed in both the hall and parlour, with the main beams displaying 17th-century stop chamfers. The roof is constructed with side purlins, and the rafters are pegged at the apex, with principal rafters joined by collars.
