28, Cow Lane

No 28 Cow Lane is a house that likely dates from the 17th century and was remodeled and extended in the late 18th or 19th century. It features a pebbledash exterior over a brick and stone plinth, and it may have originally been timber framed. The roof is thatched with long straw and has gabled ends, supported by brick axial and gable-end stacks.

The house has a two-room plan for the main range. The room on the right is heated by a gable-end stack and has winder stairs to the side, while the left room is heated by the axial stack. There is a small pantry partitioned off behind the axial stack. A two-room plan rear wing, added in the late 18th or 19th century, is located behind the left end of the main range. The first room of this wing is heated by an axial stack, while the end room is unheated and has a lower floor level.

The exterior is two stories high with an asymmetrical north front. On the first floor, there is a 19th-century three-light horizontally sliding sash window with glazing bars, positioned to the right of center. The ground floor features 19th and 20th-century casements, including two-light windows on the left and to the right of center, along with small square casements to the left of center and on the right. The doorway, located to the right of center, has a moulded case and a flush panel door. The left (west) side of the house includes two-light casements and a gabled dormer in the rear wing. At the rear, there is a 20th-century glazed outshut on the inner (east) side of the rear wing.

Inside, the left room of the front range has a chamfered axial beam without stops, while the south room of the rear wing features a boxed-in axial beam. The joinery from the 18th and 19th centuries includes various two-panel and plank doors. In the center of the rear wall in one chamber, there appears to be a jowled wall post.
