Lavender Cottage

Lavender Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th or 17th century. It features a timber frame with rendered infill and some rendered clunch rubble, topped by a thatched roof with a brick ridge stack. The building has a three-unit plan and is one storey plus attics high. The front of the cottage has a plank door located to the right of centre, flanked by two 2-light casements, and a small 2-light dormer at the extreme left. The roof is hipped to the right and half-hipped to the left, with the stack positioned almost in line with the door. The left gable wall, which faces the road, has two casements. The rear of the cottage, which displays exposed framing, includes additional casements and a dormer, as well as a small stair window opposite the front door. Inside, there is a large stack with back-to-back fireplaces and an adjoining winder stair, along with chamfered and stopped beams, a wood-mullion window, and a clasped-purlin roof.
