Valley Cottage

Valley Cottage is a house that has been divided into two separate homes. It dates back to the 15th century and was extended in the 18th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The original structure features a two-bay hall facing east, which includes a central stack from the 19th century. To the right of the hall is a two-bay service crosswing, and beyond that is a two-storey extension from the 18th century, which has an internal stack. On the left side, there is a crosswing built in 1977, replacing the original parlour or solar. The hall has one storey with attics, while the rest of the building has two storeys. The front facade has a five-window range of 20th-century casements, including two in gabled dormers and one in a swept dormer, along with two 20th-century doors. Both the original crosswing and the 1977 crosswing project out from the front, with one plain bracket supporting the former.

Valley Cottage consists of the hall and the 1977 left extension, while Fullbridge Cottage includes the right service crosswing and the 18th-century right extension. Inside Valley Cottage, there are jowled posts, display bracing at the high end of the hall, a rebated parlour doorway with a four-centred head and original hinges, and an incomplete four-centred doorhead at the rear entrance. The central cambered tiebeam features an arched brace, and there is a cross-quadrate crownpost of eccentric section, along with a complete crownpost roof that is heavily smoke-blackened above the current ceiling level. A late 16th-century inserted floor includes a chamfered axial beam and exposed plain joists of horizontal section. The wallplates are chamfered with step stops and have a rebate for the shutters of the hall window.
