Coltmans

Coltmans is a cottage, now a house, that dates back to the 15th century and has been altered and extended in the mid-17th century, 19th century, and 20th century. The building features a combination of timber framing with painted brick infill, brick, and some flint at ground level, topped with an old tile gabled roof. It has a T-plan layout and was originally composed of two framed bays, but has since been extended on the east and north sides, resulting in an irregular shape.

The structure stands two storeys high with attics and has three chimneys: one on the ridge and one at each end, each with square bases and two coupled diagonal shafts with moulded offset heads. The windows are mostly 20th-century leaded casements, many set in their original openings and adorned with hoodmoulds. There is a brick and flint plinth with old window openings partially breaking into it, and a first-floor string course.

On the rear (south) front, there are four gables, each representing one bay. The leftmost gable is the oldest, featuring thin bricks and a two-light window in the attic, along with a four-light window on both the first and ground floors. The central section has a small gable with a three-light window on the first floor and a part-glazed, leaded plank garden door from the 20th century, which also has a hood mould. The right section, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, has two gables in a similar style, with a further extension set back to the right.

The entrance (north) front is irregular in design. The central section displays exposed timber framing with a three-light window on the first floor and a four-light window on the ground floor. To the right, there is a brick section featuring a two-light window on the first floor, a small window, and a plain 20th-century entrance door. The right gable has a two-light window on the first floor and two smaller similar windows on the ground floor. The left section projects forward with low eaves and includes a hipped roof dormer with a two-light window, which has a splayed return to the central section that features one three-light window and two one-light windows on its front face.
