Oak Cottage

Oak Cottage is a house, formerly a shop, dating from the 17th or 18th century. It features a timber frame with exposed framing on the front gable end, while the first floor on the right side is rendered. The building has a plain tile roof and is oriented at right angles to the road. It is two storeys high, with exposed framing made of relatively thin scantling, arch-braced tie-beams to the first floor, and a straight tension brace to the half gable. The roof is half-hipped, and there is a projecting red and grey brick chimney stack towards the rear of the long right side. The windows include two two-light wooden casements, which were formerly sash windows, located in the gable. The ground floor is built out in red and grey brick in English bond, topped with a lean-to plain tile roof. There is a short two-storey section with similar framing and a tall red and grey brick stack at the left end, filling the gap between this house and the adjacent property to the left. The entrance features a door with four fielded panels, located in the rendered lean-to towards the front of the right side. The interior has not been inspected.
