Luzborough Cottage

Luzborough Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is infilled with brick, and the ground floor wall framing has been replaced in brick. The cottage has a thatched roof with gabled and half-hipped ends, and brick stacks at the gable ends.

The building has a two-room plan, with the northern room heated by a gable-end fireplace, while the left room was likely originally unheated. These two rooms have been subdivided later to create four rooms on the ground floor. The cottage is one storey with an attic and has an asymmetrical two-bay east front. The small-framing on the first floor includes tension-braces, and the ground floor is underbuilt in red brick. There is a plank door to the left of centre, with 20th-century two- and three-light casements on either side. An attic eyebrow window to the right features a three-light casement with glazing bars. A two-light casement is present in the south end wall.

The north gable end is clad in corrugated sheet steel and has a later weatherboarded outshut that conceals the English garden wall bond brickwork of the ground floor. The rear elevation has two bays, with the ground floor in brick and the first floor featuring small-framing with tension-braces. The right end has been rebuilt in brick, and there are small two-light casements with glazing bars, along with attic casements in the eyebrow eaves. A doorway with a plank door is located to the right of centre.

Inside, there is an exposed chamfered axial beam with hollow-step stops and exposed joists. The ground floor has been subdivided, and the winder stairs beside the stack have been replaced. The attic is ceiled, but the tie-beam truss and wind-braces are visible, with common rafters exposed under the eaves outside.
