Description
Honeysuckle Cottage is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century. It is built of colourwashed rubble with timber lintels, featuring a thatched roof and brick stacks. The cottage has a four-unit plan and consists of one storey plus attics. The front has four windows and a central oak two-panel door, which is sheltered by a 20th-century tiled canopy. There are small casement windows with one and three lights on either side of the door, and a further plank door under a tiled canopy on the extreme left. The roof has four two-light half dormers, and all windows have 20th-century frames with diamond-leaded lights. The roof is half hipped to the left and has two ridge stacks, along with an additional stack on the right gable. The right gable has been extended with light timber framing, probably from the 18th century, and there are low tiled buildings attached to the right gable wall that also feature a timber-framed gable. A straight joint indicates that the right bay of the main range was added slightly later. Inside, there is a large open fireplace.
