Tyle Cottage and Houses Adjoining East and West

Tyle Cottage and the adjoining houses form a pair of houses that were later converted into three cottages. The building likely dates from the late 16th century or earlier, with a significant addition from the 18th century, and a conversion to cottages probably occurring in the 19th century. The original structure is timber-framed, with the west end wall rebuilt or faced with brick. The pantile roof has gabled ends that are steeply pitched on the right-hand side, and there are brick axial stacks.

The original house was built around a long, five-room plan. The right-hand three-room section featured a through or cross-passage, with an axial stack positioned at the high, left-hand end of the hall. The room that now comprises Tyle Cottage was originally the parlour. Around the 18th century, a two-room house with back-to-back fireplaces and a central axial stack was added to the east end. In the 19th century, the whole range was divided into three cottages; the westernmost dwelling and the right-hand room of Tyle Cottage occupy the original house, while the easternmost dwelling and the left-hand room of Tyle Cottage occupy the 18th-century addition. A 19th-century outshut sits behind the western end, and a 20th-century single-storey extension is positioned behind the easternmost dwelling.

The two-storey front has an asymmetrical appearance with six windows. The windows are mostly 2- and 3-light casements with glazing bars, with a plank door centrally located and a 20th-century glazed door on the right. At the rear, the roof extends as a catslide over the outshut, with a mullion-transom 3-light window. A 20th-century conservatory and a single-storey, flat-roofed wing are on the right.

Inside, the hall of the original house features stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops and broad, unchamfered joists. Similar unchamfered joists are found in the passage. The hall fireplace has been blocked. A floor in the service room was previously removed to create a schoolroom. In a chamber, an arch-braced tie-beam on jowled posts has been exposed, though the roof space above remains inaccessible. Exposed joists and timber framing appear in the end wall of the former inner room (Tyle Cottage). The 18th-century house has chamfered cross-beams and a large brick fireplace with an unchamfered timber bressummer.
