Description

Oak Cottage and Tudor Cottage is a cottage that has been divided into two dwellings. It dates from the 17th century or earlier and was altered in the 20th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, with some exposed framing, and has a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. It consists of three bays aligned northwest to southeast, with the gable end facing the street. There is a catslide extension running along the full length of the right side.

Inside, there are two internal stacks: one near the front left corner and another at the rear end. The cottage has one storey with attics. The front features one 20th-century casement window on the ground floor and one late 19th-century casement window on the first floor. The entrance has a 20th-century door made of lapped vertical planks, topped with a 20th-century gabled canopy.

The front elevation also displays two hardwood posts and two jointed and pegged girts. The right side has two 19th-century horizontal sash windows with 24 lights made of handmade glass, along with three 20th-century horizontal sash windows with eight lights in weatherboarded gabled dormers. The left side features 20th-century casements and shaped sprockets at the eaves. The rear elevation shows exposed studding that is jointed and pegged to a tiebeam, along with the ends of wallplates and the last couple of a clasped purlin roof.
