Description

Weavers is a cottage that dates back to the 15th century, with a 17th-century addition at the southeast end. It is constructed with a timber frame set on a plinth made of brick and limestone rubble. The roof is covered with long straw thatch and features two ridge stacks. The original layout consists of a three-bay range running from northwest to southeast, which includes an intermediate bay and a single aisle on the northeast side. A narrower bay and stack were added to the west end, likely indicating a subdivision of the original cottage. The building is one storey high with attics and has two dormers. There are three small window openings that retain their original diamond mullions, and a doorway leads to a lobby entry.

The southeast end of the original range showcases exposed arcade posts, aisle ties, and wall posts. At the northwest end, there is another diamond mullion window. The 17th-century addition at the southeast is narrower, also timber framed, rendered, and covered with long straw thatch, featuring a ridge stack. In the garden, there is a barn that has been re-erected from Moat House in Abbots Ripton, which is timber framed with a plain tiled roof and consists of two bays over two storeys.

Inside the medieval section, chimneys and ceilings have been added, and there is a 17th-century staircase located beside the stack. Notably, there is no bracing between the wall posts and the arcade posts, and the arcade features upward bracing from the posts to the plate. A middle rail between the aisle and hall is chamfered on both sides. The roof was not inspected.
