Laburnum House

Laburnum House is a late 17th-century cottage, originally the Bull public house. It is located in Barway. The building is constructed primarily of yellow gault brick, with some parts painted, and has a steeply pitched slate roof with an original ridge stack made of yellow gault brick. The cottage was originally arranged with three rooms, including a cross-passage between the service wing and the main hall. It is one storey high with an attic, featuring a gabled dormer window. Segmental arches frame two recessed windows, each with three lights. A 19th-century door provides access. Early 19th-century windows with pointed arches to the head of the lights are found in each gable end. The interior retains early 19th-century details, including a screen dividing the hall from the cross-passage, doorways leading to a former buttery and pantry, and built-in window seats (settles) in the hall.
