4/27 Haylock's Cottage -

GV II

Cottage. C18. One storey and attics; basic 2-cell lobby-entrance plan. Timber-framed and rendered; thatched roof with decorated ridge. The internal chimney-stack has a plain red brick shaft. 2 3-light casement windows to the ground floor with a single horizontal bar to lights, one with pintle hinges; 2 gabled dormers with 2-light casement windows. The original doorway has been blocked and replaced by a sloping buttress: the present entry is into a small porch at the south-west end. A single-storey extension in matching materials on the north-east end, and later lean-to's at the rear. The framing inside is very slight; primary braces bisect the studs, and there is no middle rail; small main beams and narrow joists set on edge, their ends supported on clamps attached to the outer walls. Newel stair beside stack. Included for Group Value, and as a rare late example of a lobby-entrance plan.
