Description

The Cottage Tudor Corner is a hall house with a crosswing that has been divided into two houses. It dates from the late 14th century, was extended in the 17th century, and underwent alterations in the late 20th century. The building features a timber frame with part painted render infill and part tile hanging, and it is underbuilt in painted brick. The roofs are gabled and covered with old tiles. The structure is L-shaped, consisting of three by two framed bays, and it was formerly jettied on the east and south sides, with a long cat-slide roof at the rear and gables on the south side. The former hall is now No.96 (The Cottage) Rose Street.

The building has two storeys and features a tall chimney on the front roof slope of No.6 and another on the right-hand end, with one chimney on the left of No.96. The front facing Rose Street has a tile-hung double gable and 20th-century casement windows with glazing bars. There is a 20th-century entrance door to No.96 on the left. The Wiltshire Road front shows part of the timber frame, with a long tension brace visible on the first floor. It has scattered 20th-century casements with glazing bars, and one 19th-century sash window on the ground floor to the left. No.6 has a 20th-century planked entrance door on the right, approached by three 20th-century brick steps.

Inside, No.6 features 16th-century panelling in the drawing room. The ground floor of No.6 has a large timber-framed structure with heavy straight braces in the northernmost bay, which may have served as an undercroft for a workshop above. The former crosswing has a collar purlin roof of two bays, supported by three plain crown posts, with the centre post braced in two directions. The former hall has a simple coupled collar roof that is heavily sooted.
