Cherub Cottage

Cherub Cottage is a house dating from around 1550, with significant alterations made in the early 19th century. It stands two storeys high and likely represents the remaining hall and parlour cells of what was originally a three-cell house. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a machine-made plaintiled roof that features an axial chimney made of red brick; the lower section of the chimney is from the 16th century, while the upper part was rebuilt in the 19th century.

At both ends of the house, there are short extensions from the 19th century, each with a hipped, low-pitched slated roof. The windows are small-pane sashes from the early 19th century, and the entrance features a six-panelled door, also from the early 19th century, located in a lobby-entrance position. A later 19th-century open porch with pantiles showcases ogee cusped bargeboards and a spike finial.

The house displays some substantial mid-16th century framing with heavy and closely spaced studding. Additionally, a massive ogee-moulded bridging beam, which originates from another building, is present. The roof features clasped purlins from the 16th century. Inside, a large cambered lintel over the hall fireplace has been altered, and the fireplace itself has been reduced in size.
