Lea Cottage the Old Bakery

Lea Cottage and The Old Bakery is a building originally constructed as one house in the mid 17th century, now divided into two houses and a shop, with mid 19th century alterations. It features a timber frame that is mostly covered in 19th century red brick, with a small section at the rear still plastered. The building has a pantiled roof and stands two storeys tall with an attic, arranged in a three-cell form. There are four windows, which are 19th century two-light small-paned casements set under cambered brick arches. In the center, there is a small late 19th century shopfront that includes a single-pane shop window and a half-glazed four-panel door, along with a frieze and a boxed-out cornice supported by console brackets. Lea Cottage has a 19th century four-panel door. Inside, most of the structure is concealed, but there is an internal stack with a plain oblong shaft that is likely original. The roof features two rows of stepped butt purlins.
