Description

Gallant's Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that has undergone 20th-century alterations and extensions. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a half-hipped red plain tiled roof and features a red brick chimney stack. The cottage is one storey high with attics and includes three gabled dormers, two small paned vertically sliding sash windows, and a 20th-century small paned bay window on the ground floor to the left. There is also a 20th-century red tiled gabled porch with sidelights, along with a rear extension and left bay added in the 20th century. Inside, notable features include a repaired back-to-back inglenook fireplace, a two-bay frame with numerous stop-chamfered principal and bridging joists, and arched through bracing to the walls. The interior also contains two original moulded vertically boarded doors with strap hinges, along with two 18th-century vertically boarded doors that have beaded edging, and a halved and bladed top plate scarf.
