9, Temple End

No. 9 Temple End is a cottage dating from the mid to late 17th century, with the right-hand bay significantly rebuilt around 1800 and a small rear wing likely added in the 18th century. The structure is primarily timber framed, with plaster rendered over a brick plinth and 1800 brickwork on the front wall of the right-hand bay. It features a steeply pitched gable roof covered in long straw thatch, although the right-hand bay has been re-roofed around 1800 with a mansard roof and plain tiles. The cottage has a ridge stack made of gault brick and an end stack from around 1800.

The building has a three-bay plan with a lobby entry and consists of one storey plus an attic, which includes two dormers. There are two shuttered horizontal sliding sash windows on either side of the doorway, which has a panelled door. Inside, the cottage displays exposed timber framing made of oak, elm, and pine. Two of the rooms feature stop-chamfered main beams and joists laid on edge. The hearths are generally made of red brick, with one including a bread oven and both containing salt cupboards with shaped heads.
