Pheasantries Cottage And Attached Farm Buildings

Pheasantries Cottage and the attached farm buildings are a house and farm structures that date back to the 17th century or earlier. The house is timber-framed with a black painted stucco sill, and the frame is exposed on the west front, featuring red brick infill. The ground floor at the ends is similarly cased in brick, with dark weatherboarding above. The building has a steep old red tile roof and is designed as a two-storey, two-cell house with an internal chimney and a lobby-entry plan, facing west. It includes two lean-to rear outshuts of different dates, and the roof space has been converted to form an attic with gable windows. A central red brick chimney has conjoined square shafts. On the west side, there are two three-light flush wooden casement windows on each floor, with a two-light window in the middle above a former door. At the north end of the west side, there is a single-storey brick entrance link that connects to the brick part of the north range of tiled roofed farm buildings. These buildings extend to the west and then south along Ivy House Lane, forming a timber-framed group with dark weatherboarding, red brick sills, and steep old red tile roofs. The site was formerly known as Gutteridge Farm and was later called Gutteridge Farm Cottage.
