Description
Kingsland House is a pair of cottages that have been combined into one house, dating from the early 18th century. The building features a timber frame with 20th-century render and lightly incised panels of guiloche ornament, topped with thatch. It has one and a half storeys, with an internal chimney stack that has a plain red brick shaft.
The exterior includes two gabled dormers, each with 20th-century two-light casement windows that have diamond leaded panes. On the ground floor, there are two sets of 20th-century two-light standard casement windows with diamond leaded panes, along with two fully glazed doors. One of these doors is located to the left of the chimney stack and is sheltered by an open gabled timber porch. At the rear, there is a single-storey lean-to extension with a 20th-century flat roof, which is concealed behind a hipped parapet roof.
Inside, there is one large room on the ground floor on each side of the chimney stack, although there is evidence that these rooms were once divided into two. Each corner of the building features a winding stair, and there is no access between the upper floors on either side of the stack. The upper floor is divided into a landing bedroom and a main bedroom on each side. The interior framing is fully exposed, showcasing long primary braces, bisected studs, and joists set on edge, with their ends resting on pegged clamps. The main beams have small chamfers, and the rafters are visible with no ridge. To the right of the stack, there is a truss framed for a half hip, suggesting that the building may have been extended to create two cottages, with a slightly older core indicated by a slight difference in ridge height to the left of the stack.
