Tweed Cottage

Tweed Cottage is a late 13th-century hall house featuring a crosswing on the left and a floored end on the right. It has a two-bay hall and is constructed from timber framing with plaster. The cottage has a plain red tiled roof with a gabled dormer. It stands two storeys high and includes three diamond leaded casement windows and a blocked original mullion window. To the right, there is a 20th-century part-glazed door flanked by small windows. An off-centre 16th-century red brick chimney stack is present. Inside, the hall's roof is sooted and features a cambered, arched braced tie beam and a truncated king post, which has an octagonal shaft with a moulded base and capital. The south crosswing has been altered in the 20th century, with a heavily moulded side girth on the right, a splayed and tabled scarf joint, over squinted abutments, and a feather wedge. The original crownpost roof has been rebuilt. A first floor and chimney stack were added to the hall in the 16th century.
