Description

No. 20 Stocks Lane is a cottage dating from the late 17th century. It has a timber frame that is plaster rendered and sits on a raised brick plinth. The roof is made of long straw thatch and features a half-hipped design, with a timber-framed chimney stack that has brick upper courses. The cottage consists of three bays and is one storey high with an attic. There is one dormer on the north side and four modern leaded light windows. Inside, the layout includes three bays and a narrow chimney bay, with abutting inglenook hearths made from reused brickwork. The original staircase is located off the kitchen, which was formerly the parlour.
