Description
Little Hobbyvines Cottage is a 17th-century cottage with later alterations. It features a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a thatched roof that includes a gabled dormer. The cottage has one storey and attics, with a three-window range primarily consisting of 19th-century casements and a triangular light in the dormer. There is an off-centre boarded door, and red brick chimney stacks are located on both the right and left sides. Inside, the cottage retains an original fireplace with a mantel beam, stop-chamfered beams, and clompje brick floors. The roof is supported by side purlins, and there are some original and 18th-century doors along with an 18th-century staircase.
