Gable Cottage And Tibbleton Cottage

Gable Cottage and Tibbleton Cottage is a house that has been divided into two dwellings. The rear section dates back to around 1295, while the front section was built in the late 17th century, with later alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a mix of materials, including render on timber-framing, areas of stone rubble, and painted brick, topped with an old plain-tile roof. There is a brick ridge stack at the center and an end stack to the left. The rear is finished in painted brick and has a hipped old plain-tile roof on the left side.

The structure is two stories high with a two-window range. There is a sash door located to the left of center, and the windows are mainly 19th-century casements with irregular placement. Inside Tibbleton Cottage, there is one cruck truss with a tie beam and two collars, the lower of which is arch-braced, along with the remains of another cruck truss. These trusses have been radio-carbon dated to have a probable felling date of 1275, making this the earliest identified timber-framed true cruck house in England.
