Description
Stonehaven Cottage is a house located on Cumnor High Street, dating from the mid-17th century, with heightening and extension occurring in the late 17th century. The bressumer is dated 1652, and there is a datestone marked E/KR/1678 on the left gable end. The building is constructed of colourwashed limestone rubble and features a half-hipped thatch roof with a ridge stack made of stone finished in brick. The cottage has been extended to create a three-unit plan and consists of one storey and an attic, with a three-window range. It has timber lintels above a 20th-century door and casements, as well as 20th-century dormer casements. There is also a 20th-century extension at the rear.
Inside, there is a stop-chamfered beam to the right, and the room to the left features chamfered beams with rolled ogee stops, with joists tenoned into the wall beams. An open fireplace is present, complete with a bressumer carved in 1652. The roof has a three-bay collar-truss design with curved wind braces on the left.
