Description
Wheelwright’s Cottage is a late 17th-century house in Bramfield. It is timber-framed with plaster infill, and later timber features applied to the main sides in the form of rectangular panels, although the gable ends do not have this applied decoration. The roof is slated. The house is single-storey with an attic. It has a three-window front with 19th and 20th-century casement windows. A boarded door is within a 20th-century glazed porch. There are single dormers with pointed-arch roofs on each roof slope. An internal stack is present.
