Compton End

Compton End is a cottage dating from the 17th century, extended in the 18th century, and restored around 1910 by G.H. Kitchin in an Arts & Crafts style. It is timber-framed with brick infill and additions, and has a thatched roof. The front of the building has two bays from the early 18th century, with a two-bay 17th-century cottage to the rear on the left, and a set-back section to the right. A 20th-century bay constructed from reused timber and brick, and a single-storey bay added to the left of the main facade. The front has a door to the left of centre, with a settle immediately to its right, both sheltered by a gabled, pantile-roofed open porch supported by reused timber columns. To the right of the entrance door is a cross window, and to the left is a canted, flat-roofed bay, both featuring leaded lights. Above, there are two two-light casement windows. The roof is hipped with a ridge piece and a stack to the right, and another behind the ridge on the older wing. To the left, there is a bay with a low brick wall and continuous glazing, topped with a flat roof and balustrade. To the right, there is a recessed porch with heavy timbers supporting a room above, which features a reused 17th-century door. The interior retains its restored character.
