Lamb Cottage

Lamb Cottage is a house that dates back to the 17th century or earlier, with an eastern range and an early 19th-century northern wing, along with late 20th-century tall western wing and northern extensions. The eastern range features an exposed timber frame on a brick sill with brick infill, while the lower northern wing is constructed from flint and brick, with 20th-century extensions made of half-timbering using reused materials. The house has steep old red tile roofs and is irregularly shaped, now entered from the north. The oldest part is the two-storey eastern range, which originally faced east and has a large external south gable chimney. There is evidence of a clasped-purlin roof on a collar truss at the gable, with tension braces at the corners. The casement windows have been renewed. The adjoining northern range, which is one and a half storeys, extends to the west and features two gabled dormers at the eaves, though its front is obscured by irregular half-timbered and flint and brick additions. The 20th-century western wing is two storeys with attics and includes a garage beneath the jettied first floor on the northern end. This building was formerly known as the Lamb Public House.
