Tamarind

Tamarind is a cottage that was originally three separate dwellings but is now a single home. It dates back to the 17th century and underwent significant reconstruction in the mid-20th century. The building features remnants of timber framing, pointed or exposed brickwork, and a thatched roof. Its original layout is hard to determine due to later changes, but it may have been an L-plan house with a passage and a service wing next to the road, while the parlour was situated away from the road. The cottage is 1½ storeys high.

On the road side, there are three two-light casement windows at the ground floor and one prominent eyebrow window above. A brick stack is located between the first two bays and was likely external in the original design. The return frontage has various casement windows, including a pair in the left half-hipped end, which shows signs of light framing. There is a 20th-century door to the right of the gable and a gable stack on the hipped right end.

Inside the 'L' shape, there is early work faced in stretcher brickwork, while the service wing features light timber framing, although timbering is not evident elsewhere. The interior includes a series of 20th-century casements, including two with prominent eyebrows. A chamfered spine beam with a lamb's tongue stop is supported by an inserted round post where a partition once was. The fireplace has a bressummer and a beam carried on a short bracket, with fireplace cheeks made of 18th-century brick. This fireplace includes a large bread oven that projects into the added bay. Some framework is visible on the inner wall and roof storey, but there is little remaining historic fabric. A straight stair, inserted in the late 20th century, is positioned between heavy strings or beams, which is not the traditional location for a stair. The cottage is visually significant when entering the village green from the east side.
