Description

Bramley Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th century and early 17th century. It is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a gabled plain tile roof that has a stack on the rear slope. The building has two storeys and features a three-window range along the front, with three lean-to extensions at the back. On the first floor, there are two three-light small-paned casement windows and one small window with cross-pattern glazing bars. The ground floor includes two 20th-century asymmetrical small-paned casements, a low boarded door, and one 19th-century small-paned casement.

Inside, the framing is very complex and has been much altered, but some jowled posts remain. A large wavy curved wall brace is exposed on the southeast flank. The structure appears to have originally been a single-storey building from the late 16th century that was raised in the 17th century, featuring good curved wall braces from that phase. Part of the floor has stop-chamfered joists, and there are two back-to-back inglenooks, one of which has a large mantel beam, while the other, located to the northwest, features older brickwork. The rear of the building was formerly weatherboarded.
