Description
Hoop Cottage is a house that dates from the 17th century or earlier, with an 18th-century extension on the east side. The building is one and a half to two storeys high, constructed from timber framing and plaster, and faces south. There is a single-storey addition on the west side, which is weatherboarded with elm and has a gabled tiled roof. The main section features a gabled thatched roof and three small early 18th-century windows on the front.
On the east gable, there was formerly an external chimney that has a brick oven built on flint foundations, which projects at the rear under a tiled roof. The 18th-century two-storey addition to the east is also timber-framed and plastered, with a higher gabled roof covered in red tiles. This addition appears to have had an internal chimney on the east gable, which is now capped off. The entrance to the house is now located in this east addition, which features modern casement windows.
