Baxter'S Cottage Eden Cottage Kozecot

The cottages date to the 16th and 18th centuries. Initially named Baxter's Cottage, Eden Cottage, and Kozecot (previously listed as numbers 1, 2, and 3 Sunnyside), they are now known as Baxter’s Cottage, Eden Cottage, and Oak Apple Cottage, and form a group. The left-hand portion of Baxter's Cottage is timber-framed with a red brick front, while the remainder of Baxter’s Cottage and Eden Cottage are built of chequered red and grey brick. Oak Apple Cottage is rendered. All have plain tile roofs.

The left-hand section of Baxter's Cottage is lower than the rest and is of 16th-century origin with an 18th-century front. It is two storeys high, featuring a plinth and platt band, and has a ridge stack at the left end. A single timber-framed bay has single 20th-century casements to each floor, the ground-floor window having a segmental head. A two-storey, single-bay timber-framed addition to the rear, likely dating to the late 16th or early 17th century, is cement-rendered with a hipped plain tile roof and a gablet.

The right-hand portion, comprising Baxter's Cottage, Eden Cottage, and Oak Apple Cottage, is of 18th-century date. It is two storeys and has an attic, with a plinth, a platt band on Eden Cottage alone and an eaves cornice. The roof is half-hipped at both ends and at the junction with the left-hand section of Baxter’s Cottage. There’s a ridge stack positioned off-centre to the right, and two hipped dormers are present. First-floor casements are visible to each cottage, above the door openings. Three doors are covered by flat, bracketted 19th-century hoods; a ribbed door serves Baxter's Cottage, another ribbed door, Eden Cottage, and a plain 20th-century door with a diamond light opens into Oak Apple Cottage. A catslide roof extends to the rear.

Inside the left-hand section of Baxter's Cottage, evidence suggests a former window in the right gable-end wall on the first floor of the front bay. Exposed beams, joists, and posts are also visible. The right-hand section of Baxter’s Cottage contains a side purlin roof.
