Clareville Cottage Gully Cottage

Gully Cottage and Clareville Cottage are two cottages located in Hamstead Marshall, dating from the late 16th century, 17th century, 19th century, and 20th century. They are constructed of brick and rendered brick with tiled roofs, arranged in a T plan, where Clareville Cottage forms the crosspiece and Gully Cottage serves as the long tailpiece. Gully Cottage features a half-hipped roof end, while Clareville Cottage has a gabled roof. The cottages are 1½ and 2 storeys high, with an attic, and have flanking chimneys on Clareville Cottage, along with a large 16th-century stack at the junction of the two cottages. Clareville Cottage has three hipped dormers, and Gully Cottage has three gabled eaves dormers.

On the east elevation, there is a 20th-century extension to the left, which includes a 3-light and a 2-light cambered-headed casement window and an eaves dormer. The central part of the building, dating from the 16th or 17th century, has a 19th-century brick facing, a 2-light casement window to the left of the door, which is sheltered by a plain hood on a cut bracket, and a 3-light casement window to the right, with two dormers above. The far right features the gabled end of the 19th-century extension that forms Clareville Cottage.

The north elevation includes three two-light casements with cambered heads, a central door beneath a gabled porch, and the brickwork is painted. Inside Gully Cottage, timber-framing is visible, with a two-bay frame and chamfered and stopped joists in the central bay. There is possible 17th-century flooring from a 16th-century hall, and a large chimney at the junction of the two houses. Some timbers in the roof of the central section are smoked and blackened, and there is a winding stair in Clareville Cottage that is partially from the 17th century, with evidence suggesting it replaced a former third bay of framing.
