Description
Apple Tree Cottage is a house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure with a peg tile roof. The building is one storey with an attic and has a rectangular plan. There is a 17th-century stack with two diagonal shafts at the south end, although it has been rebuilt. The rear has a continuous 18th-century out-shut and a central 20th-century extension.
The front (east elevation) has two ground floor windows and dormer windows, with a central door located between them. The wall is decorated with old zigzag pargeting. The ground floor windows are 18th-century sashes with thin glazing bars, arranged in 4x4 panes. The doorway, originally from the 18th century, has a flat deep moulded hood supported by shaped console brackets. The door features upper glazing with glazing bars in a 4x3 pane arrangement and a single fielded panel below. The dormer windows are peg tiled and each contains a two-light early casement window with diamond leaded panes.
On the rear (west elevation), the pantiled out-shut rises nearly to the eaves level of the main block, with its walls also timber-framed and plastered. The 20th-century extension is made of brick with a flat roof and has a plastic sheeted central plain back door. The rear additions include 20th-century casement windows, one with three lights, one with two lights, and two single lights. A minor 19th-century stack rises through the principal roof pitch at the north end. The north end elevation is plain, featuring one two-light 20th-century casement window in the out-shut, while the south end elevation is also plain with zigzag pargeting similar to the front.
Inside, the interior is mainly from the 20th century, but the ceiling joists are of a thin, deep section, consistent with the house's 17th-century origins.
