Description
Timber Cottage is a hall house that has been converted into a cottage, dating from the 14th century. It features a timber frame with brick infill and a brick gable front, topped with an old tiled gabled roof and a 19th-century chimney on the right. The building consists of four framed bays, including a two-bay solar, a short bay cross passage or smoke bay, and one bay hall at the rear. It is one and a half storeys tall.
The front facing the road has a gable with a two-light leaded casement window on the upper floor and a four-light similar casement window on the ground floor. There is a 20th-century entrance door on the right, which is located under a continuous, slightly projecting lead-covered wood fascia that spans the entire width of the building. At the rear, there is a 20th-century extension.
Inside, the cottage retains a fine timber frame, complete with a plain crown post that is braced twice longitudinally to the collar purlin, along with curved wind braces and large timbers and joists supporting the solar.
