Roadside Cottage

A house of late C17 or early C18 date. The porch was added in the later C20.

MATERIALS: the ground floor is in brown brick in Flemish bond, the upper floors are timber-framed, covered in weather-boarding to the north-west and north-east sides, and tile-hung to the south-east side. The cottage has a half-hipped tiled roof with a central ridge brick chimneystack.

PLAN: a rectangular building of two storeys and attics and three bays with an entrance on the north-east side, a chimneystack in the central bay, and a staircase located behind it.

EXTERIOR: the north-east or entrance front has a central first floor casement window lighting the staircase and a ground floor casement to the sitting room. Most of the ground floor is obscured by a C20 brick porch with a hipped tiled roof, with the entrance flanked by small windows. Both the north-west and south-east sides have a casement window on each floor. The ground floor window on the south-east side is a five bay splayed casement window with a brick base and a hipped tiled roof. The south-west side is attached to Stream Cottage.

INTERIOR: (not inspected 2015) the sitting room has an open fireplace and exposed ceiling beams. The first floor has two bedrooms and there are two further bedrooms on the attic floor.
