Bunyans Cottage

Bunyans Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, built in two phases, with the middle part being the older section. A west extension was added in the mid-19th century, and there are rear extensions from the late 1960s. The structure features a timber frame resting on a red brick sill, with red brick panel infill and steep old red tile roofs. The west extension is made of red brick with timber box eaves, while the flat-roofed rear extensions are covered in white weatherboarding above red brick ground floors.

The house is two storeys tall and has three bays, facing south, with a two-storey single-cell 19th-century extension to the west. The entrance is located at the west end of the wider middle bay of the original house, which includes a 18th-century corner chimney inserted in the southwest corner. An internal 18th-century chimney is situated about 2 meters from the east end of the front wall. The south front features a battened door beneath a gabled timber porch, with a two-light flush casement window above that has small panes. A single-light casement window flanks the door, and there is a similar two-light casement window on each floor of the west extension, with the ground floor window having a segmental arch.

The frame is exposed on both floors of the old house on the south and east sides. The east gable has two two-light casements on the first floor and one on the ground floor. The structure includes jowled posts, a mid-height rail, a central post to the gable, and a clasped-purlin roof with a collar at the gable. The cottage is located in a secluded site within the wood, which is associated with the preaching of John Bunyan. The interior features exposed timbers, axial beams, a corner fireplace in the southeast corner, a moulded and chamfered lintel, and two recesses in the front-wall fireplace of the east room (parlour), along with two posts side-by-side in the rear wall where this east bay was added.
