Description
Old Drawwell Cottage is a 16th-century cottage that was extended in the 19th century. It is timber-framed and has plaster walls and a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The cottage has four bays aligned north-east to south-west, with a northwest-facing aspect, and one axial chimney stack. A 19th-century extension forms an L-plan to the southeast of the northeast end. The cottage is single-storey with attics.
The windows and doors were removed for renovation during a survey in January 1984, but 19th-century cast iron windows are being repaired for replacement on the northwest side. The interior features jowled posts, heavy studding, and curved bracing trenched inside studs. Inserted floors in the main range are supported on pegged clamps. There are transverse and axial beams, the latter with lamb's tongue stops, alongside plain horizontal joists. The roof was rebuilt using softwood.
