Aden Cottage The Homestead

Aden Cottage and The Homestead is a house that has been extended and divided. It dates from the early 17th century, with a late 18th-century extension on the left side. The building is timber framed, with exposed timber and rendered infill in the center and right sections, and brick cladding that is whitewashed on the left. The roofs are plain tiled and hipped to the left.

The house has two storeys, featuring a gable front cross wing on the right and a hip-roofed bay on the left end. There is an end stack on the left and a diagonal rear ridge stack to the right of center. The central and right sections consist of three framed bays with curved bracing visible on the first floor.

The fenestration is irregular, with four windows across the first floor. This includes one 16-pane glazing bar sash window on the left and three projecting horizontal sliding sash windows. On the ground floor, there is a glazing bar sash window on the left, one casement window to the left of center, an angle bay window to the right of center, and another angle bay window in the ground floor of the cross wing.

A panelled door is located on the left, framed in a moulded surround and sheltered by a braced gabled hood. The Homestead features a six fielded panel door on the right, set in a projecting strip surround and topped with a steeper gabled hood that has ridge cresting, curly bargeboards, and curly braces. The right-hand return front shows exposed framing at the crossing, with a first-floor glazing bar sash window in a projecting surround and lower wings at the rear.
