Description

No 6, The Street is a late 17th-century cottage that was originally part of a pair of cottages sharing a common chimney stack, although the cottage on the right has been demolished. The chimney stack has been rebuilt, with a carved date of 1781 found on the floor beam. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. It features a local brown brick stack on the right side. The cottage is one storey with an attic, and it has a modern casement dormer window, a boarded door to the left of the center, and a casement window with leaded lights. Inside, there is an original floor frame and an inglenook hearth that originally contained a baking oven. There is also a modern single-storey rear wing, which is thatched.
