Description
Street Farm Cottage is a house from the early 16th century that was restored around 1970. It has two storeys and is constructed of timber framing with plaster. The upper floor juts out on two sides, and the rear gable is covered in 18th-century red brick. The roof is made of concrete tiles and features a central chimney of red brick. Most of the windows are 20th-century casements. A single-storey gabled entrance porch was added around 1980, featuring a boarded stable door.
This is a high-quality timber-framed house, likely a parlour cross-wing of a larger original structure. The jettied upper floor has joists that support a moulded bressumer, and there is a partly exposed corner-post at the corner, which is intricately carved with a thistle and other designs, along with the initial 'W', likely representing the owner's surname. Inside the parlour, the main beams are rib-moulded and have trailing leaf carvings on the soffits, with a plain crown-post roof. The studding is closely spaced, and there is one surviving rib-moulded mullioned window on the first floor. There are also various small gabled and lean-to extensions from the 17th or 18th century. Until the mid-20th century, the house functioned as two cottages and likely stopped being a farmhouse in the 19th century.
