Description
Tudor Cottage is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 17th century, with 20th-century additions. It is timber framed, rendered, and colourwashed, topped with a plain tile roof. The building has a three-cell, baffle entry plan and stands two storeys high.
On the front facing the road, there are strips of planking that simulate timber framing. A blocked doorway to the right of the centre now features a single 20th-century horizontal slit window. To the far left, there is a 20th-century plank door flanked by single-light casements, and a timber gabled porch in front. The ground floor also includes two 3-light casements from the 19th century. The first floor has three 2-light casements, which date from either the 19th or 20th century. A ridge stack is located to the right of centre, with renewed brickwork above the blocked doorway, and there is a 19th-century gable end stack on the left.
At the far left, a 19th-century single-storey addition features a 2-light 20th-century window on the right and a half-glazed doorway on the left. The rear of the house has a 20th-century lean-to addition on the left, which includes French windows in the centre and 3-light windows on either side. To the right of this addition, there is a 2-light and a single-light casement. On the first floor, there is a 2-light gabled dormer window to the right of centre and a 20th-century addition with a glazed porch at the far right. The right gable end has a ground floor 3-light casement set in projecting brick walling, and a 3-light casement of 20th-century date on the first floor.
Inside, the ground floor rooms feature chamfered, end-stopped ceiling beams and a chamfered bressumer above the fireplace in the sitting room, which has renewed 20th-century brickwork enclosing earlier bricks. The dining room walls show through braces and have studded construction. Plank doors with strap hinges are present throughout. The baffle entry leads directly to the staircase, which has two quarter-turns. One first floor room has a cambered tie beam and a closed truss.
