Burnside Cottage Hunts Cottage

Burnside Cottage and Hunts Cottage are two houses that were originally one, dating from the 14th or early 15th century, with a 17th-century south wing and an inserted floor and central chimney in the hall. The building was divided in the 18th or early 19th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered, with a red brick underbuilding and a formerly jettied front on the north wing. The steep roofs are covered with old red tiles. The structure was once an open-hall house with a north crosswing, and the south crosswing was likely built in the 17th century. A lobby entrance was created when the floor was inserted in the hall.

The house has one and a half storeys with two-storey gabled wings facing east. The roof of the hall part slopes down at the front, featuring a window and door aligned with the tall central chimney that has conjoined square shafts. The gabled wings have bargeboards and one window on each floor. Most windows are 2-light small-paned casements, while the north wing has flush box sash windows with many small panes. Inside, the open truss of the hall includes a tie-beam that is moulded with two orders, chamfered and quadrant, and features a crown-post braced to the tie-beam. The cambered tie beam has been cut through to accommodate the chimney stack, with the removed piece reused as a fireplace lintel. The north wing (Hunts Cottage) displays curved tension bracing and close studding. The axial ceiling beams inserted in the hall are chamfered with pyramid stops.
