Description
Cherry Tree Cottage is a house, formerly known as Moat Farm, with an early to mid 16th century core and alterations from the 17th century and later. The building has two storeys and is constructed with timber framing and plaster. It features a Roman pantiled roof, which was originally thatched and is hipped at the left-hand end. There are 17th century axial and gable chimneys made of red brick; the gable chimney at the front central wing is part of a brick gable that extends slightly along the side walls. The cottage includes some 18th century or early 19th century small-pane casements and some 20th century casements. A hipped 20th century plaintiled porch with a boarded entrance door is present. To the left, there are two narrow sections of 16th century framing, one of which is a two-bay hall featuring a broach-stopped chamfered binding joist and plain common joists. A large chimney and two additional sections were added to the right in the 17th century, showcasing exposed on-edge joists; the single-cell extension at the front is of a similar date. A significant fire around 1970 destroyed the original roofs.
