Description
Hare Street Cottage is a house dating from the 16th century, with a brick front added in the 18th century. The house has a timber frame with a red brick sill and is weatherboarded at the ends, while the front and rear are cased in red brick with black vitrified headers. The roof is steeply pitched, covered in old red tiles, and is half-hipped to the north and hipped to the south.
The house is arranged with two storeys and three rooms, originally with only two heated rooms, facing west. A door is located at the south end of the middle section. The west front has three windows positioned above the door and two flanking it. A third window is located near the corner of the ground floor in the north room. A narrow, blocked window on the first floor is aligned with the chimney stack. A projecting brick floor band and segmental relieving arches are visible above the lower windows on both the front and rear elevations. The front door is a four-panel flush beaded door with a leaded glazed opening at the top, covered by a moulded hood on fluted consoles. The door is set within a broad, moulded architrave and accessed by a single step.
Inside, there are axial beams in the middle and south sections, and the north section is axially divided. The property was known as Cockes from 1608 to 1805 and as Redhouse Farm around 1818.
