Description
The Bungalow is a cottage dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, which has been partly refaced, rebuilt, or extended in the late 19th century. It features a plastered timber-frame construction that has been extended or refaced in rat-trap bond brick. The roof is thatched with straw and has both half-hipped and hipped ends, with an off-centre brick axial stack.
This single-storey cottage has a two-room plan with a central axial stack. The smaller room on the left includes a narrow unheated room at the left end, likely a later 19th-century addition. The east front is asymmetrical with three windows: a two-light casement on the right, a 20th-century metal-frame casement to the left of centre, and a plank door with a very small single-light window on the left. At the right-hand (north) end, there is an outshut clad in corrugated iron. The rear wall exposes the wall framing on the left.
Inside, the right-hand (north) room has unchamfered ceiling beams and some exposed wall framing in the rear wall. The left-hand (south) room is lined with match-boarding and features a 20th-century chimneypiece. The cottage is located on a narrow plot of land by the roadside and is reputed to have been built by squatters.
