Ranelagh Cottage

Ranelagh Cottage, originally one house and now divided into two, dates from the late 15th or early 16th century, with alterations and extensions in the 17th century. The building is timber-framed and clad with weatherboards, with a red plain tile roof. It began as a small hall house facing southwest, featuring one 16th-century chimney stack rebuilt at the top, and another dating from the 18th century. The main part of the building is one storey high with attics. The ground floor has two 20th-century casement windows. Four gabled dormers project from the roof; the second from the left has a 19th-century sash window, while the others have 20th-century casements. Two small 20th-century porches with lean-to red plain tile roofs are attached to the front. The date 1640 is inscribed in the plaster of the right gable and in modern lettering in one of the dormers.
