Description
Numbers 13 (Poplar Cottage) and 15 are a house dating from the early 17th century, with the bay on the left side cased and partially rebuilt in the 18th century. The building is now a single dwelling. Number 15 is timber framed, plaster rendered, and pebbledashed, featuring a steeply pitched roof that is now covered with asbestos. It has a large red brick stack and follows a single range and lobby entry plan. The house is two storeys tall, with the first floor jettied over the road.
There are two 20th-century casement windows on the first floor, with their heads flush with the eaves and possibly in original openings. On the ground floor, there are two windows on either side of the doorway, including one original two-light casement that is now blocked, which has an ovolo mullion remaining. The doorway retains part of a similar moulding on the left-hand jamb of the original doorcase. The bay on the left was likely added in the early 18th century, constructed of local red brick with gault brick dressings and details.
The roof, now covered with asbestos, still has the original end parapet with tumbling in yellow brick, and a dentil eaves cornice. The house features a band of patterned red and yellow brickwork between the first-floor window, which is from the 20th century. There is a segmental arch with similar patterned brickwork and a raised key block above a 19th-century hung sash window. The reeded doorcase leads to a four-panelled door.
Inside, number 15 has a blocked two-light window with an ovolo mullion and original stay bars in a closet on the first floor. There are abutting inglenook fireplaces, with one sealed off. The 18th-century part of the house contains raised and fielded panelled doors to cupboards flanking the hearth. The house is said to have been the courthouse.
