Description
Wayside Cottage is a hall-house that dates back to the 16th century and has been extended in the 18th century, with some minor alterations from the 19th or 20th centuries. The building features large panel timber-framing, which is partly built in brown brick on the ground floor, and has some weather-boarding on the first floor. It has a hipped thatched roof with a ridge stack located to the right. The windows are arranged irregularly, with one semi-dormer in the center and two casement windows on the ground floor below. The entrance door is also located in the center.
Inside, the timber-frame structure is visible. The floor over the hall includes a central chamfered beam with run-out stops, which may have been inserted later. The staircase, located in the service end, is of a straight-flight type and may be original. There is evidence of five original windows, with two at the service end still retaining diagonal mullions. The roof features a queen truss rafter design, with raking queen trusses on the west side.
