Peanut Cottage And Hill Cottage

Peanut Cottage and Hill Cottage is a house that has been divided into two dwellings. It has origins dating back to the 16th century, with a stack added, and the building being floored and extended in the 17th century. Further extensions occurred in the 18th century, and alterations were made in the 20th century. The structure features a timber frame that has been extended with clay lump and is plastered. It has a steeply pitched pantiled roof. Originally, it was likely a small two-bay open hall that was extended to three cells. The building has one storey with an attic and two storeys. The entrance is located to the right of centre and features a boarded door. The right bay has diamond mullioned windows, while the left side includes 19th and 20th century two and three-light glazing bar casements. There is a ridge stack to the left of centre and an 18th-century external stack at the right end with offsets. The building displays exposed plates and purlins. At the rear, there is a continuous 18th-century clay lump lean-to outshut with horizontal sliding sashes and casements, a gabled dormer, and an entrance in the left return. The interior framing is concealed, and Hill Cottage has not been inspected.
