Description
Oak Cottage is a house dating from the early 17th century. It features a two-cell front range with a contemporary service wing at the rear, creating a T-shaped plan. The building is timber framed and plastered, with the facade designed to imitate ashlar. It has fretted bargeboards on the main range and a slated roof. The house is two storeys high with an attic, and it has casement windows from around 1900 that include horizontal glazing bars, along with a small original window on the first floor. An internal stack with a rendered square shaft is located behind the roof ridge at the junction with the service range.
At the rear, there is an 18th-century lean-to with a boarded and battened door. Inside, the hall and parlour feature axial bridging beams with nicked ogee stop-chamfers, chamfered joists, and mid rails, all with ogee stops. The external walls have plain studding with braces. The roof over the main range includes clasped and butt purlins, although the wind-bracing has been removed. There is a newel staircase and several original doors with moulded faces. The service range originally extended further to the rear, but its original roof has been lost.
