Farm Cottage

Farm Cottage is a 16th-century open hall house that underwent renovations in the late 16th century, including the insertion of a floor and chimney, and features a rear bakehouse added in the 18th century. The structure is timber-framed with a stuccoed sill, roughcast exterior, and dark weatherboarding at the front and east end. It has a steep old red tile roof, while the bakehouse has a corrugated sheet roof.

This small, two-storey house, which is two windows wide, faces south and includes an internal chimney that backs onto a cross-passage, with a single-storey rear bakehouse located at the northwest. The house showcases the hall, cross-passage, and storeyed service end of a late medieval dwelling, likely extending further west.

Inside, the hall features an inserted fireplace with an elaborate late 16th-century moulded lintel and a heavy chamfered cross-beam with hollow stops, indicating that the inserted floor is at a higher level than the eastern part, which has an axial beam and squared joists at two levels. The upper level serves as a loft with external access on the east side.

The front of the house has two 2-light flush casement windows with small panes on each floor, a boarded door with a lean-to slated hood, and shaped ends to the rafters. Inside, exposed timbers include jowled posts and heavy cambered tie-beams with curved braces in the open truss of the hall, each member chamfered. The bakehouse contains a large brick oven, and there is a staircase against the rear wall beside the chimney. Additionally, there are two moulded plank doors with decorative iron strap hinges.
