Oak Lodge

Oak Lodge is a cottage dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is plastered with exposed imitation framing and has a thatched roof. The building has two bays facing southwest, with an internal stack located at the left end. In the 17th century, an additional bay was added to the left. There is a 20th-century stack against the rear wall of the left bay and a 20th-century lean-to extension at the back, which is roofed with corrugated asbestos. The right end has a partly demolished 20th-century external stack. The cottage is one storey high with attics, and the ground floor includes three 20th-century casement windows, along with a 20th-century sash window in a gabled dormer. A 19th-century flush four-panel door is located in the 20th-century lean-to porch. The roof is half-hipped at the right end only. Inside the original part of the cottage, there are jowled posts, exposed studding with arched braces at the corners, a chamfered axial beam with step stops, and plain joists of horizontal section. The clasped purlin roof features arched wind-bracing. The left bay has unjowled posts and plain joists of vertical section.
