2/30 Nos. 1,2 & 3, Drift - Cottages

GV II

A group of 3 cottages. Late C16 and late C17. 2 storeys: L-shaped form. Timber-framed and plastered with simple comb-patterned pargetting. Black glazed pantiled roofs, hipped. C20 3-light and 2-light small-paned casement windows and half-glazed doors; plank doors to side range. Nos 2 & 3, set sideways-on to road, form the oldest part of the group, with a basic 2-cell lobby-entrance plan: the internal chimney-stack has a plain shaft rebuilt in white brick. Main ground storey beam to No.2 with ovolo-moulding and stop with jewel and groove; in No.3, main beam with a 3" chamfer and run-off stops. The roof of this range was raised in the early C19 to bring it in line with the higher roof of No.1, which has good quality late C17 framing with primary braces and bisected studs. Main ground-storey beam with chamfer and identical stops to those in No.2. This type of C17 stop occurs frequently in Coney Weston.
