Millfield Cottage

Millfield Cottage consists of two houses that were originally one building. It dates from the mid-16th century and was subdivided and altered in the 19th century, with further changes made around 1980. The cottage is two storeys high and likely started as a two-cell house, with No.1 serving as the service cell and a cross-wing added to the front in the 17th century, while No.2 served as the hall. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with pantiled roofs featuring internal and external chimneys made of red brick. The windows are small-paned casements from the 20th century, and there are boarded entrance doors with gabled pantiled canopies supported by brackets. No.2 showcases good arch-braced close-studding and has evidence of unglazed windows. Inside, there is a plain clasped purlin roof and a clamped upper floor with stop-chamfered joists. The wide hall fireplace features a deep cambered lintel, and to the right of the cross-wing facing Mill Lane, there is a large external chimney from the 17th century.
