Hope Cottage

Hope Cottage is a house dating from the 15th century, with a possibly later cross-wing. It features a timber-framed structure, with the front elevation of the main section tile-hung on the left and weatherboarded on the right. The cross-wing is underbuilt in 19th-century red brick laid in Flemish bond on the ground floor, with tile-hanging above. The roof is covered with plain tiles. The building consists of a hall and a cross-wing, the latter of which projects slightly to the front and is two storeys tall, resting on a stone plinth. The hall has a lean-to at the front with low eaves, above which the roof is hipped to the left and abuts the cross-wing on the right. The wing also has a hipped roof at the front. There is a multiple brick ridge stack towards the right end of the hall and a small projecting stack at the rear of the right side elevation of the wing. The fenestration is irregular, featuring one three-light and one single-light casement window in the front lean-to of the hall, and one two-light casement on each floor of the wing. The hall has a boarded door with a rectangular light beneath a flat hood, located slightly left of the stack, and there is an additional boarded door in a weatherboarded porch at the rear. The rear elevation includes a first-floor window above a low catslide roof. The interior has not been inspected.
