Tea Tree Cottage Yew Tree Cottage

Tea Tree Cottage and Yew Tree Cottage are two dwellings that were originally a farmhouse, later known as The Cock Inn. They likely date from the late 17th century and have been altered over time. The buildings are constructed of handmade red brick, featuring some burnt headers and tile-hanging, with a red tile roof. The layout follows a linear three-unit lobby-entry plan with a continuous rear outshut.

The cottages are two storeys tall with an attic, and at the first floor, there are four windows. Yew Tree Cottage (No.77), which is the right-hand half, has its doorway aligned with the chimney at the junction of the second and third bays, sheltered by a small pitched canopy. To the right of the doorway is a small window that once lit a former larder. The ground floor features one three-light casement window in each bay, and above, there are two-light casements. A four-course band runs around above the ground floor window to the right. There is a large axial chimney stack located behind the ridge. The gable wall is tile-hung both at the ground floor and above the first floor, with a recently re-opened two-light casement at the first floor and a single-light window in the attic, along with an added chimney stack.

On the left side, Tea Tree Cottage (No.75) has two 20th-century bay windows at the ground floor and two two-light casements at the first floor. Its gable wall features an inserted doorway and a large external chimney stack at the end of the outshut. The rear of the entire building has a catslide roof over the outshut.

Inside, Yew Tree Cottage has an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered bressummer, and the third bay is partitioned, possibly historically, to create a small larder just inside the doorway. Part of the former house part in the centre is incorporated into the other dwelling. Tea Tree Cottage has a small inglenook fireplace with a chamfered bressummer in the rear left corner of the outshut, along with remnants of a former bread oven. Both cottages feature internal timber framing of light scantling.
