Description
The building known as the store adjoining Avicia Cottage is a former house that has been converted into a store. It dates from the early and late medieval periods and is clad in corrugated iron from the 20th century. The structure is timber-framed and features a jettied front with a tiled roof. The front elevation includes a late 18th-century door with six fielded panels and a six-pane casement window to the right. The ground floor has large modern garage doors. On the side elevation, there are three fixed casement windows on the first floor, while the ground floor has two fixed casements and a plank door. The right side elevation is covered in thick horizontal weatherboarding, and the rear elevation is vertically weatherboarded.
Inside, the building boasts a fine cruciform crownpost roof supported by curved timber braces facing the road. It features jowled corner posts and some exposed wattle and daub. There are inglenook fireplaces made of 16th-century brickwork on all floors, and the chimneystack is cut off at roof level. Some 16th-century iron casement windows and daub walls are present, along with flooring that dates to the 16th century or earlier. An excellent moulded tie beam supports the crownposts, and there are early three-plank doors. The cellar, which supports the building with stone buttresses that protrude from the walls, contains two stone fireplaces with wooden lintels.
