Description
Spanyards is a cottage, possibly originally built as a pair of cottages, dating from the late 17th century. It has undergone later alterations and features a 20th-century addition at one end. The building is timber framed and rendered, standing on a brick plinth with a thatched roof. It has an original red brick ridge stack with diagonally set grouped shafts. The plan consists of three bays, with the possibility of a fourth bay added, and a gable end facing the former Green. The doorway is located opposite the stack. There are two dormers and three windows on either side of the porch leading to the entry. The right-hand gable end includes a two-storey canted bay, added in the 20th century. Inside, the room to the right features early 19th-century stencilled wall painting with a foliate design, and there are abutting inglenook hearths.
