Description
Wychwood Cottage is a cottage dating from around 1700, with a late 18th century or early 19th century addition. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features a thatched and slate roof. The building has a two-unit end lobby-entry plan with a one-unit addition, positioned at right angles to the road. It stands two storeys high.
The south-east front has integral brick end stacks and an off-centre stone ridge stack with a brick top. The façade includes three windows, primarily consisting of 2-light small-paned wooden casements with a wooden lintel. There is a ground-floor fixed-light window to the left, and a 20th-century boarded door located between the first and second windows, slightly off-centre to the right, which is sheltered by a 20th-century hipped-roofed porch. There are signs of a possible former doorway to the left, now a window, and a potential former window to its right, indicated by straight joints. Above the doorway, there is a wooden tie in the wall, which may be the wooden lintel of a former first-floor window.
To the right, there is a one-storey outbuilding. Inside the left-hand part of the cottage, there is a chamfered spine beam and joists, as well as a stone and tile floor. The old fireplace on the right has been altered, with a cupboard to the left that features a curved wall, possibly indicating the location of a former staircase.
