Description
Curly Cottage is a house, possibly a former farmhouse, dating from the late 16th century, with later alterations. It is constructed with roughcast, likely over timber framing, and has an old plain-tile roof with a brick ridge stack located to the left of the centre. The building follows a three-unit lobby-entry plan and has two storeys and a three-window front. The window arrangement is irregular, featuring mostly 19th-century casements. A painted wood dentil cornice runs along the eaves. A 6-panel door is situated within a porch at the rear.
The sitting room on the ground floor left features an open fireplace with a shaped brick back and a chamfered wood bressumer. It also has an ovolo-moulded spine beam with jewelled and barred end stops. The sitting room in the centre of the ground floor has an open fireplace with a wood cornice-shaped mantel shelf. Ground floor rooms to the centre and right have chamfered spine beams with ogee end stops. A 20th-century straight flight staircase connects the ground and first floors. Much timber framing is visible on the first floor.
