Lammas Cottage

Lammas Cottage is a house that likely dates from the late 16th century and has been added to and altered over time. It is constructed from timber framing, Bargate rubble stone, and brick, topped with a plain tile roof. The building consists of four bays with a central smoke bay and features a 17th-century addition on the right end. There are outshuts added to the rear that were later heightened. The house has two storeys and four first-floor windows, all of which are 20th-century leaded casement windows.

The front of the house facing the road has a ground floor made of brick and stone, featuring a 20th-century door with side-lights on the left, a three-light window to its right, and a two-light window at the far right. The first floor is mostly tiled and has a timber frame made up of posts, studs, and rails with tension braces at the former end walls. The panels are infilled with brick and some are plastered, with four small-pane windows set within the panels. The date 1633 is painted to the right of the centre. The roof is half-hipped with gablets, and there is a ridge stack located to the right of the centre.

At the rear, there are gabled additions projecting on the left with a stack on the left gable. The right side of the main range has exposed timber framing on the first floor, including a right-hand wall post with a tension brace to the mid rail. The right return features a ground floor that is rubble on the left and plastered on the right, while the first floor is tile-hung. There are various 20th-century windows, and the right bay has a gablet over the first-floor window.

The interior has not been inspected but is recorded to contain framed smoke-bay partition walls, a chamfered hearth bressummer, and a supporting post with an inserted fireplace lined with brick, featuring a salt hole and an inglenook seat. The first floor also has timber framing, sooted timbers, and the inner sides of partition walls in the smoke bay. The roof structure includes queen-post roof trusses with clasped through purlins and principal rafters that reduce in size above the collars, along with straight wind braces to bay two.
