Description

Beehive Cottage is a house, which was later divided into two dwellings. It likely has origins from the 16th century, was extended in the 17th century, and altered in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame that is plastered, with some areas covered in weatherboarding, and it has thatched roofs. It probably started as a small two-bay open hall, which was extended by adding a parlour bay to the left. The layout includes a lobby entry plan with a porch and a short rear wing, both of which are likely 20th-century additions that reused older materials. The cottage is one storey with an attic.

The entrance is located to the left of the center in a gabled porch that is also one storey with an attic. It has reset panelled double doors, flanking attic casements, and a diamond mullioned window on the right return. To the right, there is a short catslide roof over a weatherboarded lean-to outshut with a two-light casement window. An axial ridge stack is positioned at the left end of the original building, while the 17th-century parlour bay to the left has a slightly lower ridge and features exposed diamond mullions on the ground floor gable end and a four-light ovolo mullioned window in the attic. The right gable end has a 19th-century external stack with offsets and exposed plates. At the rear, there are two-light glazing bar casements and three two-light gabled dormers. Behind the main stack, there is a one-storey and attic added wing. The interior has not been inspected.
