Wash Cottage

Wash Cottage is an 18th-century cottage that has been extended in the 20th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered, with a thatched roof. The building consists of two bays and has a chimney at the northeast gable. The original doorway, likely with its original door-leaf, is located near the middle of the northwest side. There is a 19th-century lean-to extension with a tiled roof on the southwest side, and a single-storey extension with a tiled roof at the rear of the southwest end from the 20th century. Additionally, there is a flat-roofed single-storey extension to the northeast. The cottage is two storeys tall, with three 20th-century wooden casements on the ground floor, including one in the lean-to extension, and two 20th-century wooden casements on the first floor. The roof is gabled to the northeast and half-hipped to the southwest. Inside, the timber frame is exposed, featuring straight tie beams, unjowled posts, and primary straight bracing. The cottage is well constructed with straight timber of good quality and has remained remarkably unaltered since its original construction. The 20th-century stair is in the same position as the original stair, and the roof has clasped purlins.
