Description

Tudor Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with a thatched roof. The building consists of three bays aligned northeast to southwest, featuring an axial chimney stack at the northeast end of the middle bay. There is a small lean-to extension at the southwest end. The cottage is a single storey with attics.

On the northwest elevation, there is a 20th-century door and three 20th-century casement windows, along with two additional windows in slated lean-to dormers. Inside, the cottage has jowled posts, heavy studs, and a clasped purlin roof with arched wind braces. All the floors have been inserted. In the northeast and middle bays, there are chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops and plain joists of horizontal section supported on pegged clamps, dating around 1600. The floor in the southwest bay is of similar construction but was added later in the 17th century, featuring notched stops and thinner joists. Originally, the southwest end was half-hipped, with mortices for an unglazed window below, but the roof has since been extended continuously over the lean-to.
