No. 1 Cherry Ground Cottages, Wash Lane, Boxford

The southern cottage of a pair, probably C18 in date.

MATERIALS. A timber framed cottage, with a brick north wall, external plaster and a thatched roof covering.

PLAN. Probably a two room plan.

EXTERIOR. A one storey cottage with attics, resting on a brick plinth. The facade faces east and has a boarded door at the centre, flanked by two, four-paned casement windows. Above the door is an eyebrow dormer. At the south elevation is an external brick chimney stack with shoulders; another external stack is at the north end of the cottage. A single storey extension, probably of the C20, is attached along the length of the rear (west) elevation.

No. 2 Cherry Ground Cottages, the northern cottage, is excluded from the listing.

INTERIOR. No interior inspection. A projecting roof timber at the south gable suggests the roof structure and other elements of the timber frame survive.

Please note that in 2013 the incorrect numbering is shown on the Ordnance Survey map. Although shown as no. 2 Cherry Ground Cottages, the address of the listed building is no. 1. The northern cottage of the pair, no. 2 Cherry Ground Cottages, the outbuilding to the rear, and cart-lodge built in 2013 further to the north-east (not shown on the map) are excluded from the listing.
