The Cottage Tinkwood Cottage

This is a block of six houses, likely dating to the 17th or 18th century, forming a terrace of small, timber-framed houses plastered over. They have steep roofs covered with old red tiles. Numbers 55 and 65 project forward with gabled frontages facing the street, featuring prominent cusped bargeboards. The building has two large decorative chimneys centrally placed, and a further square stack serving houses 63 and 65. Each house has two-light wooden casement windows on both floors. A continuous dripboard, supported by shaped brackets, runs above all ground floor openings. Small gabled porches are present at numbers 59, 61, and 63. The first floor of number 65 is clad in weatherboarding. A two-light attic window is located in the gable of number 55. A modillioned cornice is found on the north return of number 55, and also on numbers 57 and 59. The houses each contain one large ground floor room, with a shallow service room at the rear. The group is a picturesque example of timber-framed village houses, situated within the Conservation Area.
