Frogs Cottage

Frogs Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century, with a 20th-century extension. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The building has four bays facing southwest, with a stack located in the second bay from the right against the front wall. To the right, there is a 19th-century one-bay extension, and a 20th-century extension with a flat roof covers most of the rear, except for a single-storey lean-to extension near the left end. The cottage is one storey high with attics and features three 20th-century casement windows on the ground floor and two more in gabled dormers. A 20th-century door is located at the front of the lean-to porch. The roof is gambrel and half-hipped at both ends.

Inside, the stack includes a large wood-burning hearth facing to the right, which has a blocked opening for a missing bread oven that was previously outside the house, along with a 20th-century mantel beam. The other hearth, facing to the left, has been reduced in width in the 20th century to create a lobby entrance. The frame of the cottage incorporates much re-used timber from various periods, with primary straight bracing. The two right bays contain longitudinal plain joists, and there is one transverse chamfered beam with lamb's tongue stops that has been re-used. In the bay to the left of the stack, there is a chamfered axial beam that is unstopped. Notably, the tie beam located one bay from the left end is inscribed with "IB 1710."
