Hill Cottage

Hill Cottage is a house dating from the 16th century or earlier. It is timber framed and plastered, with the northeast gable end faced in red brick laid in Flemish bond, and it has a roof covered with handmade red plain tiles. The building is a single range facing southeast, featuring one axial stack near the left end and another at the right end. There is a small single-storey lean-to extension at the rear. The house has two storeys.

On the ground floor, there are four 20th-century casement windows and one 19th-century horizontal sash window with 12 lights. The first floor has three similar horizontal sashes. A 20th-century half-glazed door provides access. Each roof slope has one in-pitch skylight, and the rear slope also includes a 20th-century casement window in a lean-to dormer. The right gable end, which faces Stisted Road, has one 20th-century casement window on each floor.

The heavy timber frame is of an unusual form, featuring large unjowled posts and curved internal wall bracing. The left bay of the house is a later extension, and there is a 17th-century inserted floor throughout.
