No. 1 Cherry Ground Cottages, Wash Lane, Boxford

No. 1 Cherry Ground Cottages is the southern cottage of a pair, likely dating from the 18th century.

This cottage is timber framed, featuring a brick wall on the north side, external plaster, and a thatched roof. It has a one-storey structure with attics, standing on a brick plinth. The east-facing facade includes a central boarded door, flanked by two four-paned casement windows, and an eyebrow dormer above the door. The south elevation has an external brick chimney stack with shoulders, while another external stack is located at the north end of the cottage. There is a single-storey extension, likely built in the 20th century, attached to the rear (west) elevation.

The interior has not been inspected, but a projecting roof timber at the south gable indicates that the roof structure and other elements of the timber frame are still present.

It is important to note that the Ordnance Survey map incorrectly labels this building as no. 2 Cherry Ground Cottages. The actual address of the listed building is no. 1. The northern cottage of the pair, no. 2 Cherry Ground Cottages, along with an outbuilding to the rear and a cart-lodge built in 2013 further to the north-east, are not included in the listing.
