Description
Stoakes Cottage and Limetree Cottage are two houses that were originally one building. They were constructed in two stages: the hall and service cell, now known as Stoakes Cottage, likely date back to the mid-16th century, while the parlour block to the right, now Limetree Cottage, is thought to have been built around 1600. The cottages are two storeys high and feature a three-cell cross-entry plan. They are timber-framed and plastered, with pantiled roofs that were previously thatched.
An axial chimney from the 17th century made of orange brick has its upper shaft rebuilt in 19th-century gault brick. To the left, there is an 18th-century external chimney made of red brick, with its upper section rebuilt in late 19th-century red brick and gault brick quoins. The windows are mainly three-light casements from the mid-20th century, while Stoakes Cottage has two-light casements from the 18th or 19th century on the first storey.
An original cross-entry doorway at Stoakes Cottage features a four-centred arched head and a boarded door from the 19th or 20th century. There is a late 19th or early 20th-century entrance porch supported by posts, with a pantiled roof and cusped bargeboards topped with a spike finial. The cottages have a two-tier side-purlin roof. The interior has not been examined.
