Description

Fairbrook Cottage is a house dating from the 16th century. It features a timber frame with exposed close studding, plaster infill, and sections that are weatherboarded and clad with red brick. The roof is plain tiled. The building is designed as a hall house with a jettied cross wing. It has one storey and an attic on a plinth, while the cross wing is two storeys high, jettied, and extends down the left front on dragon posts. The roof is hipped with gablets, and there is a returned hip and gablet to the left. A central stack, which has been rebuilt at the top, is present. There is one wooden casement window on each floor to the left, and one wooden casement window to the right. A boarded door to the left is set in a moulded surround.

Inside, the cottage features inglenooks with a well-preserved bread oven, a newel stair, moulded mantel beams, and pargetted walls. An upstairs room contains a plaster overmantel. Notably, there is crude 16th-century work depicting the legend of Diana and Acteon, framed by a gadrooned surround.
