Description

Milton Cottage, Oak Cottage, and Plough Cottage are three dwellings that were formerly a farmhouse, dating from the early 16th century and 17th century. The buildings are timber framed and plastered, featuring weatherboarding and painted brick, with thatched roofs. There is a gault brick stack on the north gable and two 17th-century local brick ridge stacks, one located on the west wing with reduced, grouped shafts. The structures are two storeys tall. The main range may have been rebuilt in the 17th century on the site of the original hall, retaining some early timbers, while the 16th-century axial wing to the north has an underbuilt jetty, and there is an early 16th-century double jettied wing to the west. The west elevation includes one attic horizontal sliding sash window, three similar windows on the first floor, one ground floor window, two ground floor casement windows, and two boarded doors. Inside, there are three inglenook hearths, exposed wall and floor frames, and evidence of an axial cross passage in the west wing, which may have been aligned with the original hall entry.
