Tudor Cottage

This is a Tudor cottage, dating from the 17th century, with a later 19th-century extension. The cottage is timber-framed and plastered, with plain red tiles covering the front roof slope and pantiles at the rear. It originally comprised two rooms, extended westward in the 19th century.

The cottage is single-storey with an attic. The front has a C17 external chimney stack offset to the left (east) and C19 ridge stacks in the centre and to the right (west). The facade features C20 windows and two gabled dormers above, with a boarded door featuring an added pediment at the west end. The west elevation and part of the rear are brick, and have been painted. The eastern elevation is dominated by the external stack, with the end principal rafter partly exposed at the gable. The rear elevation has C20 windows on the ground floor, three flat-roofed dormers on the first floor, and a projecting conservatory at the east end. The 19th-century western bay is slightly more forward than the rest of the building.

The ground-floor timber frame to the front retains pegged studs and substantial wall posts, although the central area has been replaced with lower-quality materials. The original room partition and end frames retain wall posts, midrails, and studs. The rear wall frame is brick, with modern replacement wall posts. The 17th-century floor frame has substantial transverse bridging beams with a wide chamfer, attached to the wall posts with iron straps, suggesting they are reused beams. The west room's fireplace was rebuilt in the 20th century, while the east room retains a large inglenook fireplace with a replaced bresummer. The 19th-century western bay has thin ceiling joists.

The first-floor timber framing is largely intact, with jointed and pegged wall posts, including a jowled storey post at the rear of the west room, and studs. The wall plates, tie beams, and common rafter roof remain largely intact. The left-hand room contains C19 cupboard doors.
