Rosemary and Lavender Cottage

Rosemary and Lavender Cottage is a pair of cottages that have been converted into one house, dating from around the mid 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The original timber frame has mostly been replaced by Flemish bond red brick, with Flettons at the rear. The cottage features a thatched roof, gabled at the northwest end and half-hipped at the southeast end, along with brick axial and gable end stacks.

Originally designed as two-room plan cottages, each had a hall-kitchen at the center heated by back-to-back fireplaces in a central axial stack, with unheated service rooms at either end. The left service room now includes a stack, while the right has a 20th-century single-storey wing at the back. The building is one storey with an attic and has an asymmetrical four-window front facing northeast. The windows are horizontally sliding two-light sashes with glazing bars set in segmental-headed openings, with smaller windows in eyebrow half dormers in the attic. A plank door is located at the center in a segmental-headed opening. At the rear, there are 20th-century casements, a flat-roof wing on the left, and two eyebrow dormers.

Inside, the two central rooms feature chamfered axial beams with cyma stops and large fireplaces with chamfered timber lintels. The left fireplace's lintel has straight cut stops and mitres at the back. The right central room has an exposed timber frame partition with studs and curved tension braces. The small left room contains a chamfered axial beam with cyma stops, while the beam in the right-hand room has been replaced. The roof structure above the center left room is exposed, showcasing clasped purlins, collars, tie-beams, and common rafters. There is also an old plank cupboard door by the stack with wrought iron strap hinges.
