Cheswell Cottage

Cheswell Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with an extension added in the mid-18th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled thatch roof with a stone stack on the left end. The house has a two-unit plan and is one storey with an attic, presenting a three-window range. The front includes timber lintels, likely from the 20th century, above an old plank door and flanking one- and three-light casements. There are also concrete lintels over 20th-century French windows in the right bay and 20th-century two-light dormer casements. To the left, there is an earlier 17th-century one-storey, two-bay range that is timber-framed with brick infill, with part of the roof under thatch and a brick end stack. The mid-18th-century two-storey rear wing is made of coursed limestone rubble and has a gabled stone slate roof with a brick end stack, along with a 20th-century one-storey extension. Inside, there are chamfered beams and a collar truss with curved windbraces and through purlins in the left bay, as well as a chamfered bressumer over a remodelled open fireplace in the rear wing.
