Wrights Cottage

Wrights Cottage is a 17th-century cottage with a three-cell lobby-entrance plan, featuring one storey and attics. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof that is encased in corrugated iron. It has a central 17th-century chimney made of narrow red brick. The cottage has various 20th-century windows and a gabled 20th-century entrance porch at the lobby-entrance. The structure includes tension stud-braced studwork and a wind-braced clasped purlin roof. The floor joists are fully exposed and unchamfered on edge, except in the service cell. Inside, there is a lintelled open fireplace in the hall. Although the service room partition has been removed and part of the front wall has been rebuilt, the building remains largely unaltered. It is of interest as an unusually modest and quite complete example of a 17th-century cottage. At the time of the survey, it was unoccupied and in poor condition.
