Description
Meadow Cottage is a house dating from the early 17th century. It features a timber frame that is rendered and colourwashed, with parts refaced and underbuilt in brickwork. The rear elevation is partly weatherboarded, and it has a steeply pitched pantile roof. The cottage has two storeys and attics, following a lobby entrance plan.
The front has a four-window range that is widely spaced, consisting of 20th-century casements with leaded glazing in 2, 3, and 4 lights. The entrance is off-centre and has a moulded architrave with a plain canopy supported by brackets. There is a plain tiled offset in the south wall at first floor level, and two gabled dormers with 2-light casements, with the gables also partly weatherboarded.
To the north, there is a one-storey gabled wing that has a 20th-century external gable stack. Inside, the cottage contains a pair of service doorways at the western end, one of which is now blocked. The interior features beams with ogee and stepped chamfer stops, as well as fireplaces with hollow chamfered and quadrant moulded brick four-centre arches. A 20th-century stair has replaced the original winding stair in the lobby, but the original stair from the first floor to the attic remains. The butt-purlin roof may have been rebuilt at the east end in the mid-18th century.
