Description
Fiddlers Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with a rear extension added in the 18th or early 19th century. The building is two storeys high and has three windows, constructed from timber framing and roughcast with a black plinth, facing west. It features a steep old red tile hipped roof with a bellcast and a moulded eaves cornice, along with a large central chimney located one third from the north end and a rear lateral chimney serving the south room. The layout follows a three-unit plan, with the entrance now situated in the north room near the corner.
The rear extension is also two storeys, timber-framed and weatherboarded, topped with a lean-to pantiled roof. The front displays three windows on each floor, featuring 18th-century, two-light small paned casements with iron opening lights on the first floor, and larger three-light small paned casements with boarded external shutters on the ground floor. The heavy door frame has a moulded architrave and a dripboard supported by shaped brackets. Inside, the structure reveals thin exposed studs and beams. Fiddlers Cottage was formerly three cottages and is part of a picturesque group at Pye Corner.
