Description
St. Peter's Cottage and the wing to the rear associated with No. 3 is a house dating from the 17th century, with extensions made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The wing at the rear left is mainly weatherboarded and has a roof covered with red clay pantiles. The main range has three bays and faces east, featuring an external stack to the right that is shared with No. 7. There is an 18th-century one-bay wing at the rear right, along with a lean-to conservatory beyond it. The building is one storey with attics, while the early 19th-century wing at the rear left has a stack at the junction and another axial stack, making it two storeys tall.
The cottage includes two 20th-century casement windows with diamond leading and two additional casements in large gabled dormers from the 20th century. There is an early 20th-century half-glazed door set in a recessed porch, along with a 20th-century gabled canopy supported by brackets. On the right elevation of the left rear wing, the first floor features three 19th-century horizontal sash windows with 12 lights each, as well as two fixed lights with handmade glass.
Inside, over the right ground-floor room, a binding beam is made from re-used timber sourced from a medieval building, dovetailed for a former jetty. The room has chamfered axial bridging beams with lamb's tongue stops and plain joists of vertical section. There is a wood-burning hearth on the right, faced with 20th-century brick, and a corner hearth on the left with a 20th-century grate. In the right upper room, exposed studding in the gable is visible, with a window blocked by an external stack. The left rear wing contains many smoke-blackened rafters from a medieval hall, which were re-used with a ridge construction in the early 19th century.
