Description

Swan Cottage is an early to mid 15th century two-bay hall house that underwent modifications in the early 17th century, including the insertion of a ceiling and chimney. Originally, it featured a one-bay open hall with a service bay above that contained a bedroom. The building is two storeys tall, constructed with timber framing and painted brick infilling, and it has diagonal braces. The left side elevation is adorned with curved tiles and features an external brick chimney stack. The roof is hipped at one end and covered with tiles. There are two casement windows and a simple doorcase with a wooden architrave, along with a later gabled weather house. Inside, the cottage boasts a crown post roof, an ingle nook hearth, and the original partition separating the hall from two service rooms.
