Burnt Cottage

House. This property likely originated in the 17th century, but was substantially rebuilt and extended around the 1840s. Further alterations occurred around 1960 and 1974. It is framed construction, with a brick ground floor and a first floor that is a combination of tile hanging and timber framing. The roof is covered in peg tiles and has brick chimney stacks.

The layout features an entrance on the north east side. The original 17th-century section is a single-room fragment, located at the south west end of the building. This was extended north eastwards in the 1840s, with a service room added to the rear of the original core. This service room was enlarged around 1974.

The north west front has two storeys and an attic. The roof is gabletted, with a half-hip at the north east end. The asymmetrical front has three window bays. The original 17th-century part is on the right and retains its original framing on the first floor, featuring two diagonal braces. To the left is the 19th-century section, which is tile-hung on the first floor with decorative scalloped tiles. Three gables are above each window bay, dating to the 19th century, and feature timber framing, plain bargeboards, apex finials and pendants. There are 2-light and 3-light casement windows from the 20th century; a hipped-roof attic dormer is located on the right. The north east end has rusticated stone quoins and deep eaves with pierced, cusped bargeboards. A Tudor-style plank front door, with studded cover strips, is located to the left of centre. The upper portion of the elevation is timber-framed, including a two-tier oriel window with a coved base.

Inside, the original 17th-century ground floor room has a chamfered axial beam with canted step stops, and chamfered stopped joists. The first floor beam was removed, but the rails at each end remain in the same style. Previously, a hayloft was in the end wall of the 17th-century house; it is now an internal space, blocked by a grille of turned bobbin uprights.

Part of the original 17th-century roof survives, featuring clasped side purlins, queen struts with straight windbraces.
