Brookfield Cottage

Brookfield Cottage is a Grade II listed building that consists of two cottages that have been combined into one dwelling. It dates from around 1800 and has undergone renovation. The structure is timber framed, rendered, and features a thatched roof made of combed wheat reed. There is a red brick ridge stack from circa 1800 that has two flues. When the cottage was recorded in 1950, a cement panel in the stack was noted, which was incised with the initials TVW and the date 1853. The building is arranged in an L-plan, with one cottage facing the road and the other on the east side. It is two storeys high and has two small modern casement windows on each floor. The original doorway to the front cottage at the north end is now blocked, and the current entrance is located at the side.

Inside, each cottage originally had a kitchen and scullery on the ground floor. A cupboard staircase off the scullery led to two rooms on the first floor. There are back-to-back hearths with segmental arched heads for small hearth openings, although the bread ovens on the side have been removed. The framing is exposed, and the varied scantlings along with vacant peg and bracing trenches indicate that some timbers have been reused.
