93, Burley Road

This is a late 18th century cottage with an attached cow byre. The cottage was extended to the rear in the later 19th century. The walls are mostly cob, rendered over a plinth, with some brick side walls; the southwest wall is in a Sussex bond. The roof is thatched, and there is a brick chimneystack to the ridge. The cottage is one storey high with attics, featuring irregularly spaced windows that are now later 19th century casements but remain within the original openings.

The southeast, or front, elevation has two windows to the attic floor, beneath an eyebrow dormer, and three to the ground floor. The entrance, in line with the chimneystack, has a doorcase with a flat cornice and pilasters, leading to a planked door behind a 20th-century conservatory. The attached cow byre has an original wide wooden door and a wooden loading door with pintle hinges. The northwest elevation includes one eyebrow dormer with a small casement window to the cottage and a one-storey later 19th-century addition, partly in stretcher bond and partly rendered. The original wide plank door with a moulded architrave survives behind, along with a cow byre entrance with a plank door.

Inside the cottage, the northern ground floor room retains a straight flight staircase in a partition to the northwest of the chimney and a C18 spine beam. The chimney has a mid-20th century brick fireplace. A ledged plank door is in the adjoining room. The cow byre retains its original roof structure, featuring a kingpost and angled queenstruts, along with tiebeams and rafters of unhewn timbers. Later secondary timbers were inserted for strengthening. The internal cob walls of the byre, including the partition wall to the cottage, are undecorated.

This represents a substantially intact late 18th century cob and thatched cottage with integral cow byre, a rare survival in the New Forest.
