Description

Sleepy Hollow is a cottage built around 1570, with alterations made in the 20th century. It has a timber frame, is plastered, and features a thatched roof. The cottage has two bays facing northwest, with a 18th-century external stack at the right end (the upper part has been rebuilt) and a 20th-century external stack at the left end. There is a single-storey extension added to the rear of the left bay. The building is one storey high with attics and has two 20th-century casement windows and a 20th-century door located at the front of a gabled porch.

On the rear wall, there are three 17th-century horizontally sliding sash windows with 18 lights, some of which contain contemporary glass; one of these windows is enclosed by the rear extension. Additionally, there is a 12-light sash window in the right return wall, which has been re-sited. Inside, the cottage features jowled posts, curved braces set within heavy studs, stop-chamfered transverse beams with lamb's tongue stops, plain joists of horizontal section, and original rebated floorboards. There is also a blocked window in the upper storey of the left return wall, which has diamond mullions.
