Burnt House Cottage

Burnt House Cottage is a cottage dating from the mid to late 17th century, with 20th-century extensions. It features a rendered timber frame on a brick plinth and a thatched roof with gabled ends. The cottage has external gable end stacks, each with tall brick shafts.

The plan consists of three rooms. The original house is a two-room plan range on the left (west), with the left room heated by a large gable-end stack. The current entrance leads directly into the smaller, unheated right room, which contains a later winding staircase in the front right corner. In the 20th century, a one-room plan addition was built on the right end, featuring a gable end stack, and a single-storey extension was added to the left end.

The exterior is one storey with an attic and has an asymmetrical three-window south front. It includes various 20th-century casements and a large 20th-century flat-roof dormer to the right of centre. There is a doorway near the centre with a 20th-century glazed porch. At the rear, there are also 20th-century casements and a similar dormer.

Inside, the left room has a chamfered cross-beam with bar stops, and the fireplace is blocked with its lintel cut through. The right room has exposed axial joists but no main beam, along with the winding staircase in the corner. In the rear (north) wall, a pair of 17th-century wooden ovolo-moulded two-light windows have recently been uncovered. The first floor was not seen, but it is believed that the original roof structure still exists.
