Little Snoad Cottage

Little Snoad Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It is timber-framed with painted brick and plaster infilling, topped with a thatched roof. The building has a lobby entry plan and stands two storeys high on a rendered plinth. The rear ground-floor wall is close-studded, while the first floor is weatherboarded. The left gable end features broadly-spaced studding with tension braces. The front elevation has broad rectangular panels, two per storey, with brick nogging and an end jetty to the left. The roof is hipped, and there is a broad central stack. The windows are irregularly placed, including two 4 x 2 light plain-chamfered wood mullioned and transomed windows with leaded lights on projecting wood cills, and a central 19th-century two-light casement to the left of a blocked diamond mullion window. A boarded door is located beneath the stack, and there is a brick lean-to on the right. Inside, the cottage has three bays and features a large inglenook fireplace. The roof structure includes clasped purlins with diminishing principal rafters, queen struts to the collars, and curved windbraces. The left end of the roof is hipped internally and plastered, separating it from the rest of the roof.
