Rushetts And Rushetts Cottage

Rushetts and Rushetts Cottage is a house that has been extended and divided, originally built in the 16th century, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is timber framed, with the rear extensions clad in red brick, some exposed frame featuring red brick infill, and whitewashed rendered infill on the first floor at the rear. The front ends have brick and tile hung extensions and cladding, while the rear of the extension is finished with whitewashed brick. The roof is plain tiled, extending in a catslide over the extensions, with the right-hand return front pitch covered in Horsham slabs. The original entrance front is now located at the rear of the building.

The elevation facing the lane consists of two storeys on the left, featuring one two-light window and flanking single-light windows on the first floor, with two windows below. There is a gabled dormer to the left of centre and continuous fenestration on the ground floor to the left of centre, along with a leaded window to the right of an old oven. A gabled dormer is also present to the right of centre, above a set-back ground floor that has two windows. The gable ends to the right include one first-floor window and two ground-floor windows. The house has multiple 17th-century stacks at the centre, topped with corbelling, and an additional stack on the left side of the wing.

On the left-hand return front (north), there is a pentice extension on the ground floor and a 17th-century stack at the end, with a queen-post truss above. The old entrance front features three diamond-pane leaded casements on the first floor at an angle, with a brick-clad 19th-century range projecting to the left and one ground floor window to the right. A pentice porch with a stable-style door is located at the end, in the angle of the two ranges.
