The Cottage

The Cottage is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 20th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered and has a steeply pitched pantiled roof. The building consists of two cells and three bays, with one storey and an attic. The right bay has small two-light casement windows with ground floor glazing bars and a hoodboard, while to the left there is a larger 20th-century casement window on the ground floor. A central ridge stack has been rebuilt at the top. The left end has a three-light glazing bar attic casement with a hoodboard and exposed purlins, and the entrance is located in a 20th-century open gabled porch towards the rear. The right end features a two-light attic casement. At the rear, there is a low 20th-century addition with a gable. Inside, the ground floor has a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam, and the first floor includes cranked braces in the walling at the right end, opposed base cruck blades supporting a raised tie beam to the left of centre, and collars clasping the purlins.
