Coppice Cottage

Coppice Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century, with later alterations. It features a timber frame with brick infill, painted at the front, and has brick additions along with a thatched roof and brick stacks. The cottage has a two-unit plan and is one storey with an attic, comprising two bays. There is a 20th-century single-storey added bay to the left and likely a 19th-century side outshut on the right. The wall framing is rectangular-panelled with slightly arched braces connecting the wall-posts to the wall-plate. A late 19th-century central gabled brick porch with a tiled roof and a six-panel door is present. The windows include small-pane designs with three lights to the left and two lights to the right, along with a two-light attic dormer on the right. Much of the roof was destroyed by fire at the time of inspection, but it is hipped over the right-hand outshut, with stacks at the ends of the original cottage.

At the rear, the main range has two three-light windows on the ground floor and a central one-light window above, along with a two-light window in the outshut on the left and in the right-hand bay, which adjoins a projecting semi-circular bread oven. Inside, there are large-scantling chamfered spine beams with run-out stops and chamfered joists on the ground floor. The roof retains some burnt rafters and purlins, with some wattle and daub in the right-hand gable, and features a tie-beam, queen posts, and collar at the left-hand gable. The cottage was in a state of dereliction following fire damage at the time of inspection on August 29, 1990.
