Ransley Cottage

Ransley Cottage is a house dating from the 16th century. It is timber-framed and clad with galletted ragstone, featuring red brick dressings. The cottage has a plain tiled roof and stands two storeys high with a basement on a plinth. It has red brick quoins and pilaster strips flanking the window bays. The roof is hipped with gablets and has a stack at the right end.

On the first floor, there are two wooden casements with a central blank panel. The ground floor has three wooden casements with segmental heads, with the central one originally being a doorway. There is a segmentally headed opening to the basement on the centre right. The entry is now located in a weatherboarded outshot at the rear. Inside, there is a frame and a 16th-century cellar with reported stairs. The cottage is associated with the notorious Ransley gang of smugglers from the 18th and 19th centuries.
