Kiosk Cottage

Kiosk Cottage is a house built in two sections: a mid-16th century two-storey, two-bay cross-wing and a one-storey rear extension with attics added around 1700. The building is timber-framed and roughcast, featuring an upper floor that jetties out at the ends, showcasing exposed joist-ends and a bressumer. The roof is pantiled, having been thatched in the past, and there is a central chimney made of red brick dating from the 16th or 17th century. The cottage has small-pane casement windows from the 19th and 20th centuries, and a boarded entrance door from the 18th or 19th century.

The 16th-century wing was once connected to a now-vanished hall range to the left. Beneath the jetty and in the left-hand side wall, there are wide, four-centred arched windows and doorways, suggesting that this wing may have originally functioned as a shop. A smaller, blocked arched doorway would have led into the hall. The heavy unmoulded framing includes closely spaced studwork, and there are diamond-mullioned windows that are now blocked. The roof features a plain crownpost with plank braces. A chimney with three flues was added to the rear bay in the late 16th century, along with an integral newel staircase and altered lintelled open fireplaces. The 17th-century rear wing has inferior arch-braced studwork and reused heavy floor joists typical of the 16th century.
