Margin Cottage

Margin Cottage is a house that was formerly four houses in a row, dating from the late 17th century with significant later alterations. The building features a mix of construction materials, including timber framing, brick, and flint, and is rendered and whitewashed. The roofs are covered with thatch and pantiles. The south end of the cottage is primarily timber framed, while the south-east side has two storeys divided into three distinct ranges, with the central range thatched and originally consisting of two properties. There are three doorways and numerous casement windows from the 18th to 20th centuries, along with three gabled roofs. A reduced ridge stack is located at the center of the thatched range, and there is an external gable end stack incorporated into the southern block. The northern block has an internal gable end stack. The north-west side is similar, featuring two doorways, one of which is behind a 20th-century gabled porch, and scattered fenestration.

Inside, there are two large open fireplaces and patches of exposed timber framing. A blocked four-light chamfered mullioned window is found on the south-east side of the ground floor of the southern block. Above this window, the rooms feature bridging beams with sunk quadrant mouldings.
