Little Upper Hill Street Cottage

Little Upper Hill Street Cottage is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the late 18th or early 19th century. The building is timber framed, with the ground floor rendered and the first floor weatherboarded, which was formerly tile-hung. It has a plain tile roof and features a lobby-entry plan consisting of three timber-framed bays, with a fourth bay added to the right in either the 17th or 18th century. The cottage is two storeys tall, set on a rendered plinth, and has a hipped roof. There are brick stacks located towards the right end of the left bay and another at the left end of the added right bay. The fenestration is irregular, featuring four two-light casements. The entrance includes a ribbed door under the left stack and a half-glazed door under the right stack.

Inside, the central and right bays form a single room, which includes a chamfered cross beam and chamfered joists. There are mortices for a four-light diamond-mullion window with a shutter groove at the right end of the room. Tension braces are present on each floor of the former right gable end. The added right bay has a chamfered cross beam to the right of the stack and axial joists. The left fireplace features a wooden bressumer tenoned to the rear wall post and to a post towards the front of the house, infilled with what appears to be later brick jambs, possibly part of a timber stack. An arch-braced tie-beam with an unmorticed soffit is located immediately to the right of the stack, with a stud and daub partition above it angled to the right, away from the stack. The right stack has a brick fireplace with a wooden bressumer.
