Bay Tree Cottage

Bay Tree Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, which was refronted in the late 18th century and has a 20th-century extension to the front and left end. The building features a timber frame with red and brown brick infill at the rear and red and blue brick cladding at the front, along with a brick and tile hung extension. It has a plain tiled, hipped roof with a gablet at the right end. The cottage is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic in the left-hand extension and a one-storey attic on the right under a through-eaves casement dormer. The plan is L-shaped with a cross wing to the left. Architectural details include brick dentilled eaves, a front stack to the right, a rear stack to the right, and a double stack to the right of centre on the ridge. There is one 20th-century casement window on each floor of the cross wing, and three ground floor casements to the right, which are diamond-paned and set under cambered heads. A part-glazed door is located to the left of centre under an open gabled porch. The right-hand return front, which faces the street, features one through-eaves dormer and a brick inscribed with "IH 1778".
