Inglenook Cottage, And The Post House (North Of Lamb And Flag Public House)

Inglenook Cottage and The Post House, located north of the Lamb and Flag Public House, are two houses that were originally a house and outbuildings from the late 17th century. They were altered in the 19th century to serve as a shop and house, and later modified into houses in the late 20th century. The structure features a timber frame encased in brick and plaster, topped with a steep roof covered in dark brown tiles. The main house, which faces east, has two storeys and includes four windows with a door situated between the left pair of windows. The windows are recessed sash types with three-over-three panes. There is a projecting chimney with offsets on the south gable and an internal gable stack on the north side, which supports a large open fireplace. Inside, the building showcases exposed joists and axial beams in the floor, along with a winding stair located in the southeast corner. At the rear, there is a two-storey timber-frame weatherboarded range of outbuildings with steep pantiled roofs, partly faced with 18th-century brick on the north side and continuously on the south side. This section includes a separate house known as The Post House, which features casement windows and a gabled porch. The prominent L-shaped block is significant to the street scene and is included for its group value.
