Hamble Cottage

Hamble Cottage is a hall house that has been converted into a residential home. It dates from the mid to late 14th century and underwent alterations and extensions in the early 15th century, with further changes made in the 19th and late 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame that is encased in roughcast, with old tile roofs that are half-hipped and gabled. The structure has an L-plan with three by two framed bays, and the gable faces the road. It is partly two storeys and partly one storey, with a chimney on the left wall and another on the ridge of the one-storey section.

On the road front, the left side has a one-bay gable with a three-light window on both floors. The one-storey section is set further back on the right, featuring a plain entrance door on the left and a two-light window on the right. Inside, parts of the timber frame are exposed, showcasing a collar purlin roof with plain crown posts that are braced twice to the purlin, along with many sooted rafters. The older part has large plain floor joists running the length, likely inserted in the mid-16th century. The single-storey section has a queen post roof that is heavily sooted, with curved windbraces, jowled posts, and a larger chimney that was inserted in the 16th century.
