Two Tuns Cottage

Two Tuns Cottage is a house that dates from the late 15th century and late 16th century. It features a two-storey cross-wing on the left and a lower hall range that was rebuilt in the late 16th century along the street front. There is some evidence suggesting that the earlier hall may have been set back further. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a plain tiled roof that includes 19th-century gabled casement dormers. The entrance door, which dates from the 19th or 20th century, has vertical panels. The cross-wing displays high-quality close-studwork in two bays, with evidence of a third bay at the rear. Inside, there is a plain crown-post roof with a chamfered post and two-way bracing on an arch-braced tie-beam at the open truss. The 16th-century range is a single storey with attics and features lesser quality carpentry, including blocked diamond mullioned windows beneath the eaves and a well-constructed wind-braced clasped purlin roof. There is also a 20th-century extension at the rear.
