Cobweb Cottage

Cobweb Cottage is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It was partly rebuilt in the 18th century and extended in the 20th. The exterior is predominantly colourwashed Flemish-bond brickwork, with some weatherboarded timber framing; it has a thatched roof and brick stacks. The building originally comprised three rooms arranged in a lobby-entry plan, but has since been enlarged. It has one storey and an attic. The front elevation features three segmental-arched three-light casement windows, a 20th-century plank door under a thatched porch centrally placed, and three-light leaded dormers above the centre and right bays. A stack is located on the right gable and another in line with the entrance. The right gable wall retains some original weatherboarded framing but is largely hidden by outbuildings. The left gable wall features small segmental-arched casements which lead to a 20th-century rear wing constructed in a matching style, replacing what was previously a dairy. Original eaves plates remain at the front and rear of the main range.

Inside, there is an open fireplace with a stop-chamfered bressumer (a beam above a fireplace), stop-chamfered spine beams, and a clasped-purlin roof with heavy flat rafters and curved windbraces in the centre and right bays. The left bay may be an earlier addition.
