Tudor Cottage

A cottage dating from the 16th century, with significant modifications in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries and later 20th-century alterations. The building is timber-framed with brick and plaster infill, incorporating 17th-century brick and stone dressings, brick tile hanging, and painted render. The roof has a hipped and gabled form. The layout is roughly L-shaped, with the main section oriented northeast/southwest. The northwest face has two gables, the northeast face one, and the southeast face a central gable and a single-story 20th-century lean-to extension. There's also a hip roof to the southeast and a single-story extension on that end. The building is two stories high, with a two-story and attic section and a single-story extension. A large grouped brick stack is located on the centre of the short arm of the "L," with a smaller stack off the ridge towards the northeast of the main arm. On the northwest elevation, the timber frame is exposed to the left. The far left is one bay of two square panels, with herringbone brick infill and plain brick infill. It contains a 2-light 20th-century casement window on the ground floor. To the left of centre is a cross gable with bargeboard and a rendered gable above timber frame with brick and plaster infill on the first floor and brick on the ground floor. This section has a 3-light casement window on each floor. To the right of centre, a 17th-century brick-faced gabled crosswing has a 2-light stone mullioned window in the gable apex, along with a 4-light stone-dressed formerly mullioned window on the first floor. The central lights of the first-floor window have been extended downwards to accommodate a 2-light 18th-century iron leaded casement. The ground floor has a 4-light casement in a partially blocked stone-dressed opening. To the far right is an 18th-century brick-faced outshut with a 2-light leaded casement under a catslide roof. A large brick and timber 20th-century gabled porch covers the entrance door, positioned across the junction of the central gabled wings.
