Description

Lane House is a cottage located on Mill Hill in Weston Colville, dating from the late 16th to early 17th century, with an extension added to the northeast end likely in the late 17th or 18th century. The building is timber framed, rendered, and has a long straw thatch roof featuring two single flue ridge stacks. It consists of three bays and a baffle entry, and is one storey high with an attic. The southeast wall includes one gable dormer and two 19th-century iron frame casements, while the baffle entry doorway has been sealed. On the northwest wall, there is one full gable dormer, three modern casements, and two doorways, one of which likely dates from the late 17th or 18th-century addition. Inside, the wall and ceiling frames are made of heavy scantling with uniform studwork, and the joists are laid flat and unchamfered. The original roof features clasped side purlins.
