Description
Bristow Cottage, dating from around 1630, was originally known as School Cottage and was built by the Reverend John Bristow, who served as the Rector of Charlwood from 1615 to 1637. This timber-framed cottage features painted brick infilling at the base, constructed from Charlwood stone. It has two bays with an additional half bay at one end, and is one storey high with attics. The structure showcases square framing with straight tension braces and jowls, topped with a Horsham slab roof that is half-hipped at one end. The exterior includes two casement windows and one modern dormer. Inside, the cottage has a clasped purlin and wind brace roof, and features the text of the Ten Commandments painted on a roundel. Originally, there was an end smoke bay, and access to the bedroom was via a ladder.
