Melford Cottage

Melford Cottage is a house that was later divided into two dwellings. It dates from the late 16th century and underwent alterations and partial rebuilding in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame that is plastered, with a steeply pitched pantiled roof. It has a three-cell cross entry plan and is two storeys high. The entrance is located to the left of the original entrance, and the windows are two-light glazing bar casements. There are 20th-century gabled dormers, and a lean-to structure in front of the rebuilt parlour bay. A rebuilt ridge stack is situated between the hall and the parlour, while a 20th-century porch and an external 19th-century kitchen stack are found in a lean-to outshut on the right.

Inside, much of the timber frame is concealed, but four bays remain visible. The hall features jowled storey posts supporting a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam. The first floor originally had large five-light diamond mullioned windows, reverse cranked arched braces in the walling, an edge halved scarf joint, a sharply cambered tie beam, and a clasped purlin roof, which was originally hipped at the service end.
