Abbey Cottage

Abbey Cottage is a house dating from around 1600. It has two storeys and is constructed with a timber frame that is plastered, with the frame exposed on the front elevation. The roof is peg tiled, hipped at the east with a gablet, and gabled at the west where it connects to a neighboring building. There is a slated lean-to extension at the rear. The layout follows a baffle entry plan, featuring a service area, stack bay, hall, and a very narrow end bay with a lower girt level. The front includes a 20th-century peg tiled gabled porch hood and casement windows with small panes. A large red brick stack is positioned off-center. Visible mortices indicate where former first-floor oriel windows once existed, and there are fragments of old pargetting on the east wall. Inside, the building reveals long tapered and chamfered jowls, along with slightly cambered tie beams. The scarf joints are halved and bladed.
