Description
Careys Cottage is a house dating from around 1600. It is timber framed with rendered wattle and daub infill and has a thatched roof. The building features a lobby entrance plan and stands two storeys tall. The central door is from the 20th century, with a restored three-light mullioned side window to the left. There are three casement windows from the 19th or 20th century on the ground floor and three more on the first floor, with the leftmost window being leaded. The cottage has a gable roof with a central ridge stack. To the west, there is a one-and-a-half storey pantiled extension, and at the rear, there is a full-height pantiled kitchen extension, along with a 20th-century conservatory and fenestration.
Inside, the timber framing is closely studded with heavy scantling. The lounge features a bridging beam with sunk quadrant mouldings and tongue and groove stops. The west upper room retains a tie beam supported by tension braces and has a blocked four-light diamond mullion window. The roof structure includes collars with clasped purlins, butt purlins below, diminished principals, and straight windbracing.
