Treacle Cottage

Treacle Cottage is a house located on Church Farm Lane in Rushden, dating from the 17th century or earlier, with extensions added in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame with brick additions, all rendered, and has a thatched roof. Originally, it consisted of two or three bays and is one storey with an attic. The gable end faces the road and includes an extruded stack with offsets, flanking single light casements, and exposed plates and purlins beneath a steeply pitched roof, which has some tiles on the right slope.

The left return or rear elevation features a three-light 20th-century casement and an attic light. At the far end, there is a 19th or 20th-century addition that is set at right angles and has a hipped roof with a ridge stack. To the right front, there is a 20th-century addition with an attic light facing the road, which has a thatched eyebrow and includes one, two, and three-light casements with a slightly higher ridge. The entrance is located in the inner angle of this addition. The main range elevation to the right has two and three-light leaded casements and a straight joint at the original right end. The interior has not been inspected.
