Well Cottage

Well Cottage is a house, originally comprising three bays and later extended with a two-bay parlour cross wing to form an L-shaped plan. It dates from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is timber-framed and plastered, with a thatched roof.

The original three-bay section is on the left, with the parlour cross wing to the right. The house is two storeys high with an attic over the cross wing. A glazed door is located to the right of the earlier section, with 20th-century casements on the ground floor and three two-light, glazing bar casements on the first floor. The front roof is hipped over the right side, replacing what was originally a cross wing gable. A 19th-century ridge stack is positioned in the right bay of the earlier section. Inside the earlier section is an internal stack and a lean-to outshut with exposed plates and purlins. A 19th-century external stack is present on the right return. The cross wing extends to the rear, featuring an 18th-century external stack with flanking brick ovens and double offsets. A slate-roofed lean-to is attached to the rear left.

Internally, the parlour has altered, crossed stop-chamfered binding beams. The first floor features stop-chamfered jowled posts and close studding in both sections. The parlour chamber includes cranked arched braces in the walls and to the tie beam, with arched windbraces visible in the parlour roof. The main roof is concealed.
