The Cottage

The Cottage, together with No. 15, comprises two cottages originally built in the early or mid 16th century as a single two-cell house. Later alterations occurred in the 17th and 19th centuries. The building is two storeys high, with timber framing; No. 13 is plastered and No. 15 is pebble-dashed. The roof is tiled, with a hip at the left-hand end. A 16th/17th-century axial chimney of red brick is located on the right, and 19th-century external chimneys are at the rear and left. Most of the windows are small-pane casements from the 20th century, with one being a cantilevered bay, possibly replicating a previous shop window. There are 19th-century entrance doors, one panelled and one boarded. The left-hand service cell contains a blocked 4-centred arched doorway, which once led to the hall on the right, and may have been one of a pair. The building has unmoulded framing and a crownpost roof. Two rear wings were added in the late 17th or 18th century; the wing behind No. 15 contains a mid-18th-century parlour with a good fireplace and corner cupboard.
