Cooks Farm Cottage Cooks Farmhouse

Cooks Farmhouse and Cooks Farm Cottage are a house and cottage that were formerly a farmhouse, dating from the late 16th century with alterations from the 17th century. The buildings are two storeys with attics and feature a two-cell lobby-entrance plan along with a service wing. They are timber-framed and rendered, topped with a plaintiled roof that has an axial chimney made of red brick, which includes four attached flattened-hexagon flues on a square base. The mid-20th century windows are casements, and there is a one-storey plaintiled entrance porch with a battened and boarded entrance door.

Inside, there are notable features such as diamond-mullioned and cavetto-moulded mullioned windows, close-studding, and a wind-braced clasped-purlin roof. The early 17th-century alterations include a rare example of wall-plastering that closely simulates oak wainscotting, a wide ovolo-moulded mullioned window above the entrance, the addition of chimneys, a newel staircase, and an attic floor. An additional attic was formed in the 18th century at purlin level.

The cottage may be an earlier two-cell building from the 16th century that was repurposed for service rooms after the construction of Cooks Farmhouse. It has one and a half storeys with attics, is also timber-framed and rendered, and features areas of herringbone pargetting in panels. The thatched roof has a 17th-century axial chimney made of red brick with saw-tooth pattern shafts. The cottage includes 19th and 20th-century small-pane casements and a 19th-century boarded entrance door.
