Parish Cottage

Parish Cottage is a 17th-century house located on the north side of The Street in Hunston. It features a rendered and whitewashed timber-frame construction with a roof made of pantiles, which are black-glazed at the front. The building has an unusual two-unit plan with a central stack and a passage across the front, from which a winder stair rises. The entrance is located on the right gable end, with a secondary entrance on the left gable. The cottage is single storey with an attic, and it has one small two-light casement window on the first floor facing the road, along with two similar larger casements below. There is a plank door on the right end with a two-light casement above, and the left end has a similar arrangement. At the rear, there is a full-length outshut under a catslide roof that contains three small casements.

Inside, the cottage has a close-studded frame with long straight tension braces and wattle and daub infill. The floor below the eaves level features chamfered bridging beams. The roof, which is only partly visible, has heavy common rafters. The interior also includes a winder stair, a large contemporary brick stack with later inserted fireplaces, a complete set of early plank doors, wide plank floors, and a simple full-height fitted corner cupboard in the left room. Parish Cottage is noted for being remarkably intact for its period.
