Description
Walnut Tree Cottage and Walnut Tree Farm House is a house that has been divided into two dwellings. It dates from the early 16th century, with stacks and a floor added and extended in the mid-17th century, and further alterations and extensions made in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame with plaster and has a thatched roof that was originally half hipped at both ends.
The original structure consisted of four bays, including a small two-bay open hall and storeyed end bays. Stacks were inserted in the hall's lower bay and at the lower end, along with an added service bay. The house is one storey and has an attic. There are entrances in the added bay to the left and into the upper hall bay to the right, both featuring 20th-century casements. The building has three gabled dormers, with the right dormer having three lights and part opening with glazing bars. There are ridge stacks to the right of centre and an axial stack at the original left end, with a later ridge stack inserted in the upper bay. The original half hip remains at the right end, which also has a lean-to outshut. The left end features a two-light glazing bar attic casement, and there is a lean-to outshut at the rear.
Inside, the hall has an open truss with arched braces that spring below the inserted floor, along with stop-chamfered side girts, an axial binding beam, and a fireplace bressumer. The original frame consists of small scantling with straight arched braces in the walling, and there are original six-light diamond mullioned window openings in the hall's upper bay. The interior also includes a plain tie beam in the open truss and a coupled rafter roof with some blackening. The original lower bay has been much altered, featuring a 17th-century ogee stop-chamfered axial binding beam. The 20th-century extension to the left is not of special interest.
