Description

This is a late 16th-century cottage located in Little Bentley, near Raven's Green. It is timber-framed and has been roughly rendered with a red plain tiled roof. There are external chimney stacks on the right, left, and central sides. The cottage is one storey high with attics, featuring three gabled dormers. It has seven ground floor windows, most of which are 19th-century small-paned horizontal sliding sashes. A vertically boarded door is positioned off-centre to the left side, and a 20th-century gabled porch with a plank and muntin door is on the right.

Inside, the timber frame consists of three bays with close-set studs and halved arched braces. There are jowled storey posts, one of which includes an arched brace incorporated into the central chimney stack. Three original window openings remain, with shutter slots to the front and rear first-floor walls; some of these now have 20th-century casements inserted. A halved and bladed top plate scarf is present. The inserted floor is supported by stop-chamfered bridging joists. An original three-board door remains, though it has undergone some repairs.
