Description
Santon Cottages is a substantial early 16th-century house with a later addition. The building features a facade of diamond tiling with brick below, which conceals the timber frame. It has two storeys and four wide bays, topped by a fairly high pitched tiled roof with an old compound stack. The leaded casements vary in style from different periods. The garden front displays three gabled dormers resting on the eaves and includes a projecting south wing. There are two modern wooden porches and a small stone lean-to.
Inside No 1, which is the solar end, there is a deeply coved and roll-moulded dais beam with bench fixing holes in the posts below. The hall ceiling beam is morticed in, indicating that the hall was always floored. However, the chimney appears to be an insertion, suggesting there may have been a smoke bay. Access to the roof above the two inglenooks is not possible, but there is side-purlin construction at the dais end.
