Description

Oak Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is timber-framed and features later 18th-century brick cladding. The roof is plain tiled, half-hipped to the left and hipped to the right, with a large central brick ridge stack. The building has a battle entry plan and is two storeys high with two windows, which have later 20th-century lattice casements. There is a 20th-century boarded door with a gabled weather-porch. To the right, there is an outshut with a catslide roof, and there are 19th and 20th-century extensions at the rear. Inside, the cottage has jowled posts to the principals, and the studs and struts are exposed in the rear wall, while they were originally hidden by lath and plaster in other areas. The roof structure consists of a four-bay side-purlin roof with collars.
