Brick Cottage

Brick Cottage is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century and late 18th century. It features timber framing with a plastered back and a red brick front and east flank wall. The building is two storeys tall with a gabled peg tile roof. The front is made of red brick and has a parapet, a moulded brick cornice, and two full-height segmental bow projections that contain three-light ogee-headed Gothick leaded light windows. In the center, there is a blank recess above a doorcase flanked by pilasters, with an Ionic entablature featuring vertical reeding over the pilasters and a flat cornice. The original door is a six-panel design with raised and fielded panels. There is a small ridgeline stack and another stack against the eastern gable. At the rear, there is a single-storey extension with a hipped peg tile roof. Inside, some of the framing is exposed, showcasing stop-chamfered joists and a large inglenook fireplace with a chamfered mantel beam. The interior also includes a late 18th-century fire surround, built-in cupboards with serpentine shelves, a mid-18th-century staircase handrail with square balusters, and a cast iron pump in the rear scullery extension, which features an old window with iron diamond mullions.
