Hill Cottage

Hill Cottage is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 17th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a thatched roof. The building consists of three bays aligned approximately northwest to southeast, facing northeast, and features an axial chimney stack located between the southeast and middle bays. There are single-storey extensions at the rear, added in the 20th century. The cottage has a single storey with attics, a 20th-century boarded door, and four 20th-century casement windows, along with two additional windows in swept dormers. The roof is half-hipped at the southeast end and hipped at the northwest end. Some of the framing is exposed internally, including jowled posts. The original floor in the southeast bay features a plain-chamfered axial beam with step stops. In the other bays, floors were inserted in the early 17th century and are supported on pegged clamps. The middle bay has an axial beam and joists that are plain-chamfered with lamb's tongue stops. A tiebeam to the southeast of the middle bay has been removed, but another internal tiebeam remains.
